Diesel £2.29 per litre

No that’s not a typo.
Just seen on the news that’s what a garage in Chelsea is charging this morning.

other people reporting that garages are switching off the price signs.

this is gonna get stupid.

 

More profiteering.

 

That is steep.
Sydney is paying $1.80 - $2.10 for 95 octane here

Around £1.10??

 

^^^^ ouch!

 

Damn! I was planning on using my beetle instead of the van, thinking petrol was cheaper.. fecking oil companies have us by the dangly bits don’t they

Maybe it’s all a plan to get us all to buy milk floats

 

To charge at home using ever more expensive elec?
TBH the cost of fuel is still small compared to replacing your ICE car with an electric one.

 

Heating oil is the one that’s gonna be a killer. I know one guy who paid £280 for a fill up last year (prices were lower than normal due to reduced demand). He’s just been quoted over £900 for the same amount.

 

Far canal

 

I just paid £1.68.9 for diesel
It felt like I had won the football pools
Been driving much slower today although to be honest it made all of 5mpg difference

 

Most garages have maximum once a week fill up so how can prices rise daily?

 

Greed

 

The two supermarket garages I popped into today neither had any diesel they were advertising much cheaper than the other garages. So quite possible its them taking advantage of the situation.

 

False economy innit ...it just chucks the pollution out of the city's

 

Drove past one garage last Friday, had a breakfast, 1/2hr later when we past it had gone up 5p.

 

Its the oil companies ..

Not long until a pay-at-pump wont fill up a Bay Window with £99 worth of fuel at about £2.20 per litre and 45L topup..

Its still cheaper for most to own a Bay Window and use it than lease a car of any kind ..

 

Saw petrol at £1.79 a litre at a garage in Frome today.
I think it’s ‘Artisan’ petrol though…
