Has anyone like me, noticed the Forecourt fuel prices have jumped up the last few days, I think the petrol companies are getting their increase in now hoping it will be disguised by and blamed on the imminent VAT increase.

Asda and Morrisons keep the like of Tesco's prices low, left to it's own Tesco would not be that cheap.

Sorry Mr Northener, rip of Britain is NOT a myth, as stated when I opened this thread, Shell diesel £1.30/ltr, Asda £1.24/ltr. Companies charge what they think they can get. You can't justify by saying Asda has big buying power, all the fuel comes from the same Shell refinery about 10 miles down the road.

I'm surprised you used house selling as an example, wasn't that called gazumping, a hated practice. As I stated in the start of this thread £1.30 from Shell and £1.24 from Asda for diesel. This is not a snap shot, it's a trend, the poor local Shell dealer paying new prices and the big bad ASDA having loads of old stock to sell off, rubbish!! it all comes from the SHELL refinery. Anyone who doesn't patronise a near supplier who offers even a 1P discount is supporting RIP OFF BRITAIN
supermarkets have, on average, two to three deliveries per week so what old stock would you be talking about ?
the main difference in price is the quality of the additives put in the fuel.
a shell garage will have premium fuel with all the additives and asda, tesco, morrisons will have the minimum of additives.
there are three ways to add the additives...at the refinery in bulk tanks during refining, at the refinery during bulk storage (premium grade for their own forecourts) and at the supermarket forecourt by the tanker driver.

Hiya PAPS, the facts about old stock came from 'Northerner' not me, I'm a trusting soul, I just took that as gospel, but seeing as my faith is being questioned I must ask the question 'What are the benefits of the additives you mention? how much more MPG, how much more engine life do I expect for the extra 4p per litre
Bugger, are you saying that I am the only one still doing this.

the price of diesel always goes through the roof in winter due to massive demand from america for home heating.
we use kerosene, the yanks use diesel.
come spring the demand will decrease and the uk price will drop...slightly.

So my point is, businesses are no different from anyone else! They react to competition and they try to get the best price that they can!
