Anyone noticed??

[dazandandrea]

There was an article in today's Telegraph saying that in 2 weeks the cost of filling up will have dropped by £10.

I hope applies to filling my motorbike aswell.

 

[lorger]

Petrol down to £1:79 and Diesel £1:89 in Dumfries

 

[AndyPK]

Down by 5p, Tesco, Ciren……

 

[Don Campbell]

Price of refining it has gone up though.

Not by 60p per litre though! Don't see the National newspapers rushing to report the disparity between wholesale and pump prices. They would rather concentrate on nannying us to death about heat waves.

 

[Bcollinson]

Anyone noticed diesel and petrol have gone down 10p a litre??

They have at our station (that’s not renowned for dropping prices)

Same for us. Cumbria

193.8 to 197.6 in the garages near me. Better than 199.9 that it was

 

[Aucheorn]

Yet the price of Brent Crude is now lower than it was when petrol / diesel was around £1.30 / ltr, robbing gits !!!

What people don't realise is that the government has a lot of tax in that price AND then charges VAT at 20% on that tax. Ripping us off TWICE.

 

[jimnjul]

Still £199.9ltr in Bridlington

 

[DT]

£1.96 per litre today in Olden Norway.

 

[ashley 1340]

There's also an 18-20% government reduction on top of that so with the current exchange rate works out about £1.50/l

I think you will find that is for french taxpayers who declare a vehicle for essential use and is deducted from your tax

Still £1.95.7 in asda , £1.96.5 in tesco here. Although i just passed a station at £2.05.6

I got the deduction in June but don't tick any of those boxes

 

[Paulypaul]

The trouble is that because the prices have gone up so much, a slight reduction is all that's needed to make the populus feel as though they've had a result. Whereas in reality, the prices need to drop at least 0.50 ppl in order for us to get back to where we were s while ago, which was still a rip off.

I've just looked back at one of our fuel card providers price texts I get every week, and October 2021 I was paying £1.10 per litre. This week I'm paying £1.80 per litre. I know its cheaper than pump prices but the percentage of increase is probably the same?

Wow, so from your point of view its gone up a lot, but not as high a percentage increase as mine is, albeit £1.60 is bloody expensive isn't it?

[Rumour and Innuendo]

In case anyone is interested - the average price of diesel in New Zealand is the equivalent of £2.08 per litre. 91 octane petrol is £2.15 per litre.
These prices are being helped by a Government subsidy of about 25 cents per litre. The subsidy was brought in about 6 weeks ago to help inflation-hit motorists.
NZ closed its only oil refinery about a year ago

What is the average wage in NZ? That plays a big part in the costs of things. My Bro said it was pretty good compared to the UK, but he had his own business.

Yeah i think when i came back to Scotland in march 2021 it was £1.15 per litre but by october 2021 it was up over £1.50 . Then i came back in march 2022 and it was £1.79 and it went up constantly since to £1.99.9 .

In fact having just googled it i found this

 

[mikebeaches]

Paid £1-78.9 for petrol today at our local Esso filling station... expensive still, but significantly less than a week ago.

Oh yes we do ! Someone's got to pay the price for Rishi's furlough scheme after all.

[Billylyne5]

No it’s not gone down here in Oxfordshire still £1.95.7 for diesel

 

[Rumour and Innuendo]

£1.949 for diesel and £1.859 for petrol. Down by 1p on last week! Put the3 price up while still selling the fuel that was bought at a cheaper price, put is down, if they have to, after a few weeks of getting cheaper deliveries!

So what's that, nearly a 40% increase? Shocking that we're being ripped off like this.

Aye and if you think how much fuel is used throughout the uk in 1 day and how much income in tax the government pulls in off that its eyewatering . Still i imagine all those parties cost a few bob eh

 

[cyberyacht]

In early 2021 Brent Crude was $60. By January this year it was $80 and climbed to almost $120 by May. It's currently hovering around $100-$105 which is about what it was when Putin's tanks rolled into Ukraine.
Bear in mind though that the raw material is just part of the cost.

I filled up at the Truckstop yesterday on the M6 and it was 7pence a litre cheaper than my local Tesco! If they can do it then so can all the others!

In Slovenia, EVERY garage in the country is the same price, it was €1.68.8 per litre in June!

 

[joe and sue]

Agree in principle, but do we want a Slovenia type government and lifestyle here in the UK ??
