Diesel price increase (2 Viewers)

[DuxDeluxe]

Just been to local Sainsbury and noticed diesel has gone from 126.9 to 129.9 in the last couple of days.

A common trend or just local to me.?

General trend ... but ... I suspect Brexit

All to do with traded petroleum product prices. Heavily influenced by supply and demand differentials in USA and Asia as well as exchange rates. Nothing sinister, just plain economics

Diesel for your MH is a luxury, be grateful it is not taxed as such.

No it isn't when it is a daily driver. Any fuel for councillors/government vehicles is though.

In Spain at the moment, catching the ferry home from Bilbao on Tuesday. So this is a handy thread - was wondering whether to fill up here, and it sounds as though it could be worthwhile.

We have been paying around E1.22-1.25 a litre currently, although 3 weeks ago found some at E1.14. And two months ago, an astonishing E1.04!

You're buying in the wrong places We haven't even got to 1,14€ here yet ? Plenty around the 1,05€ in murcia

Interesting, the €1.04 we paid was in Murcia.

Why is it so cheap there?

There's a station on the motorway just north of you Richard that was €1.01 when I passed on the way to yours....I was gutted I never saw the price before I'd passed the entrance

We’ve noticed how much more diesel is in France compared to Spain driving through today!

 

[Northernraider]

It's also interesting that only in the UK is diesel more expensive than petrol.

Costs less to refine

And it was originally cheaper than petrol

But of course corrupt goverment and soft citizens means they do what they like and we just accept it.

Some even support it in the name of environmental reasons , despite cow farts doing more damage than diesel cars

 

[Lenny HB]

Last fill up I paid €1.11.

No idea? I think you can find cheap places in all areas .

No can't think of it?

Up here in Alloa (between Dunfermline and Stirling) Morrisons selling diesel at 125.7 today.

That`s still a lot cheaper than Benromach !!

Just paid €1.11 for the posh diesel near La Manga, the cheaper stuff was €1.07 but I thought that I would treat the van.

Petrol here is about the £1.17 mark with diesel 10p more.

Some people just put it in and don't even look at the price.

I use super diesel in helga, all the time,,,

I squirt the first £1.00 in my eyes so I can’t see the price, I admit it does look like I’m crying, but I have met a few sympathetic women that way,, and somehow that seems to take the purchase pain away!! X

Simple supply and demand really.... my daily newsfeed gives a little bit of an insight

Whats this CMC Esso Card all about?, I saw in the mag last month, didnt pay much attention though.
Diesel round her in sunny Surrey at Sainsburys is £1.25.9 or realistically as I say to her indoors £1.26, and as someone once said on here, how can they charge you, or how would you pay 0.9 of a penny?should be rounded up, or rounded down to 0.5P, its a con to make it look a penny cheaper, but it doesn't catch out us Scots

We caught the ferry home from Bilbao on Tuesday, and noticed a big price sign next to the last roundabout before entering the port. Mrs mikebeaches spotted it just in time and we did a 200 metre detour to fill the tank at €1.15 euro for diesel (just under £1 a litre at the time).

Suppose it doesn't matter if it goes to £3 a ltr... There's nowt we can do about it but moan.

If the whole country stopped buying for a fortnight the suppliers and gov may take notice but that is never going to happen... And they know it.

Hi Pappjohn,
Your right, unfortunately we aren’t like our French relations, we don’t protest effectively, we just moan amongst ourselves, as always, it would only take three days or so, to cause chaos on forecourts and fuel depots, if you remember not so long ago, there was a one day a week boycott of the pumps, and it was chaos, think it’s time we did it again for 2or3 days this time,maybe they will get the message cos just moaning amongst ourselves is achieving nothing at all.

True, but unfortunately we are not all in that position.

I have noticed that the gap between diesel and petrol is narrowing, petrol is creeping up on diesel.
