I couldn't believe it when I went to get petrol yesterday. Last Wednesday it was around 1€50/55 a litre, now it's 1€77. I reckon it will pass the 2€ a litre mark within a few weeks. Then the 'gilets jaunes' will be out but that's for another discussion. Just thought I'd let you know that it's the same here in France.
11 days later: It's already over 2 euros a litre at 2 supermarkets. I managed to get 1€87 at my local supermarket.
Correction I've just checked and Shell Station charging 1.80 and Tesco Express Esso opposite is 1.64. Why would people pay 1.80 when station on opposite side of road is 16p less.
There is a small difference in quality, mainly additives that may or may not make a difference, depending on the vehicle
They should be done by Trading Standards. For fuel/gas/water there should be a maximum amount retailers can charge - something like 5% more than the rrp.
I paid 161.9 on tuesday for diesel. The above is 25p above that, so 15% more than I paid.
Oil prices plunge after UAE agree to pump more crude. Wonder how long that will take to be reflected at the pumps….
probably drop- five pence or so yet still be VERY expensive .. more incentive to buy an electric vehicle .. BUT, how will the grid cope with huge increases in demand ?
'main route' petrol especially motorway stops, have always been very expensive .. I have always wondered why, except in an 'emergency' anybody would patronise them .. also I suppose, business travellers (who don't have a caravan and horse) on expenses don't care what the price is

Same on all transport. Businessmen would never bother using a railcard or getting a cheaper ticket even if it saves a few hundred quid.

Exactly, I've never bought petrol at a motorway s/stn. Petrolprices.com is good to find the cheapest.
Just had my Fuel card prices through for next week, going up another 17 pence a litre from midnight Sunday so another 77 pence a gallon. Considering roughly 180 gallons gets put in across my fleet at the start of the week its a big chunk of money.

Please tell me it's a Silverado or a F150
