fuel prices
 
what is it recently with higher fuel prices? they seem to have gone up about 10 p a litre in the space of 4 weeks? my local supermarket was selling diesel at 98.9/l today!

Gnan 15-04-06 08:14 PM

done a bit of research and seems to be american related (as usual) coupled with what's going on in the middle east

yep nearly £1 per litre!!!!!! :shock: dont know about you guys and gals but i run the sv and a 1.8 focus and my fuel bills are getting ridiculous!!! :(

Gnan 15-04-06 08:40 PM

get rid of the focus and spend the money on petrol for the bike!

kwak zzr 15-04-06 08:42 PM

I wish it were only 98p here. We're back up to silly money again, £1.07 last week and I heard it went up another tuppence today. :evil:


This just means I'm going to have to start commuting on the bike next week. Bit of a hassle when you've got a uniform but needs must. At 22mpg the car's expense is getting ridiculous.

It's hitting here also..unleaded now 1 euro per litre! :shock:

Its a p*ss take. I have an SV and a 1.9 TDI Golf. Only a 34mile round trip to work but its costing a ruddy fortune with all the ride outs on the bike as well. I just don't understand how diesel is more than petrol. You can use veggie oil ffs.

Isn't it because diesel is taxed less than petrol, so any change in the oil price affects diesel more than petrol, as the 80% tax acts as a buffer on petrol.
