I notice prices are creeping up at the pumps again.
What excuse this time, or have I missed something about a duty rise recently. Went up just after Xmas here 2p, yesterday another 1p on. Not seen much fuss or news posted about it, but then with all this snow :o

No different here. The texaco down the road just have the price written on cardboard taped to the sign because its changes so often >:(

That amused me last year with our local antiquated garage. They had a cardboard sign out and just kept crossing out the lower price and writing in the higher one.

No excuse, its just the public have stopped moaning about petrol prices >:(
I put £5 in at a garage yesterday to get me home because it was 113.9 ltr, my wife went mad and said I embarrassed her but I can get it 109.9 ltr at home so why pay more.

I bet they're happy everything went metric, every penny on a liter must be nearly 5p per gallon >:(

Texaco garage in our village went up about 5p as soon as it started snowing. Captive market. Most of it was probably burnt churning up the snow and getting nowhere too. ::)

Oh, and petrol will go down soon - Why?
Because on Saturday I put 70 litres in at 110.9 in order to give me some ballast on the snow. First time I've put any petrol in since August.

Unfortunately, you cant extract all oil from the reservoir because of surface tension and some other reasons, secondary production methods like CO2 injection or burning (you need to drill many other wells around the area) are extremely expensive so calculated reservoirs are not valid for comsumption..

I filled up on about the 10th Dec, just before the first bout of snow here, for ballast and topped off with £15 last night, brimming it, for the weight... Shouldn't need to put any petrol in it now before I sell it :y :y

Most of the UK already know that, but then again the majority are too shit scared to actually stand up and speak out because it will cost them £80 minimum for breaking one of the 4000 new laws that have been introduced since Nu Labia came to power.

Yet another price rise around here.
Last week 1p, now they've put 2p on today.
So 3p per litre rise on both petrol & diesel in under a week.
Anybody know why, not a thing said in media TV etc, well not that i've seen :-X

We have two local filling stations, asda and murco. They were both at 105.9p. Asda has closed for 10 weeks for a refurb. Murco is now 112.9p. Go figure.
