Re: Fuel prices
Still floating around 1.43 for me.
Thankfully the wife has been improving her driving efficiency and we've been getting 500 miles to a tank recently which is 45mpg.. typically used to get 420 miles

Re: Fuel prices
How'd she manage that....is she normally red-lining the engine during the traffic light
grand prix or something??
Seriously, that's a sizable difference...20-odd % improvement.

Re: Fuel prices
I pad £1.439 at an independent today.
Highest I saw when I was out was £1.549 at an Esso.

Re: Fuel prices
My local Jet has raised the prices 10p/L since I last filled the car up... No idea why.

Re: Fuel prices
There's warnings about further increases as oil prices rise.
It's just a shame the feckers aren't as quick to lower prices when crude goes down.

There's some real piss taking going on with prices.Kwacky wrote:It always amazes me how Coventry seems to be 10p a litre more than Birmingham.
In the nearest small town to us there are 2 petrol stations, one BP and the other shell. They were however owned by brothers and they work together to make it look like they are in competition, but actually inflating the prices.
Within a 10 mile radius fuel at every other station is 10p cheaper.

Re: Fuel prices
I'm trying to work out why there's a 10p range in prices within a 2 mile radius of where I live. There's 7p between two local Morrisons.

Re: Fuel prices
They seemed to have dropped a lot recently. I saw £1.309 last week. Most by me are around the £1.35 mark

Re: Fuel prices
Prices have dropped by close to a quarter here as well last couple of weeks. Was paying up to $2.10/L for diesel, now $1.60 ish.

Re: Fuel prices
I'm seeing a few around 1.26 here for petrol and £1.30 for diesel. Under 1.40 for E5 petrol too, the bike likes the low ethanol.
