Fuel Prices?
« on: 04 December 2010, 08:11:31 »

Is it just me or have fuel prices gone through the roof since the cold snap? past loads of places and unleaded/Diesel has gone up a good 4 to 5 pence.

I know fuel tankers are running behind on their deliveries but it seems like there trying to conserve their supplies or just rip people off >:(

Actually I should stick another tenners worth in, fuel light will be on soon and it annoys me.

Did well though, back in August i only stuck a tenner in then too. But with this weather, I am thinking i should have a larger reserve if i get stuck  :-/

I filled up on ESSO at 115.9 on Tuesday, but they are probably the cheapest in Kent.  My local Sainsbury's is running at 119.9 ::) ::) ::)

Indeed, and the extra weight will help as well :y

You'll also be running more on petrol this time of year, as warm up time is longer...

Asda (by far the cheapest around my commute) has gone up 3 times in the last week - was sat at 115.9 for ages, then went up a penny every couple of days.

I notice the BP on the A34 wanted 71.9p for LPG :o (and 122.9 for unleaded)

petrol has just gone up round here, its 116.9,

how the hell do they justify chargin hearly 1.50 a litre.

also why the hell do we (britain) get charged so much for petrol from the pumps when its only 45pence a litre to produce, we are the highest taxed country for petrol and its not rite, its a f*****g disgrace, i started dring 7 years ago petrol was at 63pence a litre, so in 7 years its doubled in price, i know my wages haven't doubled in price, neither has anythin else so why do the govenment feel the need to tax us so heavily when we all pay road tax, income tax, insurance premium tax, vat.  its not rite, how the hell can the govenment and country be in so much debt when 85pence out of every litre that is bought goes into there pot, what the f**k they doin with the money, part from  buyin bird tables and employin there children as cleaners etc etc etc

My local LPG station put the LPG price up 4ppl overnight Thursday!  :o >:(

Even the BP down the road is 4ppl cheaper! Filled up in Ipswich while I was there yesterday and saved 10ppl :o :y Could probably have saved a bit more if I'd gone a little further in the wrong direction but couldn't be bothered as I was only topping up about half a tank :y
