Are we daft or just being ripped off

[Blaydon]

Hi there. Fuel prices.
I went to fill up my car yesterday and paid £1.46 a litre. (diesel)
Today, I had to fill up the boss’s car, and went to the same filling station. I noticed the price for diesel has gone up to £1.56 a litre. I asked if they had had a delivery and was told no.
So Mr Sainsbury bought the diesel at one price and because the price of crude oil has gone up, he is now selling the same fuel at a higher price. (Other fuel sellers also exist)
This is why the oil companies are making so much money out of us mug motorists. They push up the price and we all pay it.

Thoughts?

What I can't understand is why heating oil is now 170p instead of being half as much as petrol it's now dearer.

 

[Robert Clark]

I was thinking the same

Sainsburys next tanker will cost them more than the last one.

What happens if oil prices then suddenly drop?

Surely people would expect them to reflect this in the cost of petrol?

1.80 for heating oil by us today on boilerjuice

 

[David and Sally]

They would argue that they have to replace the fuel with more expensive stocks. But they then charge more for that.

I thank the supermarkets for reining in the prices from oil company garages over the years.

Does the fuel price at the pump necessarily reflect the supply price?
I know if supply is effected the law of economics applies,but how much is profiteering!.Is there any regulation over this issue.
The same with gas.I believe 40% of uk gas comes from North Sea,should this supply be subject to large fluctuations.
I m sure somebody will answer..

 

[Nirvanauk]

I’ve just paid £1.74 for diesel in york
however getting a delivery today of heating oil at 67.5/litre. Boiler juice seems like a rip off at the moment.

I was told I'm Germany they will change the prices at different times of day

My son has just posted a photo of a Shell garage in Peterborough selling diesel for £1.98.9

I would tend to avoid it!

They do, I remember passing a filling station one afternoon on the way into a stellplatz and noticed the diesel quite cheap so I made a mental note to call in and fill up next morning.
Next morning it was considerably more expensive

Dynamic pricing I think they called it, I just cursed for not filling the previous day

Are Electric car owners feeling that they made a good choice?

Esso around here is £1.72 a litre and at the same time Tesco was £1.549 a litre for diesel.
So at £1.46 you were doing well. And mine were prices from last week

[chrisgreen]

Yes until the battery needs replacing

as long as the battery lasts as long as my lease, not a problem also it's guaranteed for 8 years but can and do last a lot longer than that.

I understood that they couldn’t do that, in the past ‘weights and measures’ departments of Local authorities would prosecute owners of garages. Trading standards departments now have so little staff and resources that it’s never going to happen Now.

That’s how it works. They buy in at the price. Then that same order is sold on at increasing rates even though they’ve not paid higher rates. But notice that in the unlikely event that oil prices drop, the falling prices, such as they are, have to wait for the new lower price order from the garage.

 

[Rapido925M]

Sainsbury's at Ipswich (Warren Heath) was £153.9 when I drove past 15 minutes ago. Hopefully it will be the same tomorrow, in which case I think I can squeeze 2 gallons into the tank.

I know what you mean but we're not exactly 'mugs' as most of us don't have any other option.

On the way to Peterborough this morning, one garage on the A47 diesel £1.79.9. Went round to Bretton Centre and their garage had diesel for £1.61.9.
That's 18p per litre???????????

We are daft and we are being ripped off. It's so easy for them the French would have dumped manure on the forecourts.

But the French are, and they haven't.
Also from what I have read are the Germans, Spanish, French, Italians................paying through the nose.
