Diesel prices

[Nostrovia]

As a company car driver about to move to the next car I am acutely aware of the types of vehicles "aimed" at reps and businesses doing high miles..... BIG switch to non-diesel engines. Boss got a great deal on a diesel Passat last month as "nobody wants diesel" according to the broker.
Hence will that mean refineries cut down on diesel production and force the price up? Or will the reverse happen and prices come down to keep it moving?
Just a thought.

Or, whilst trying to discourage diesel use, will governments just keep hiking the tax on diesel? and tax us (even more) to death in the future.

AFAIK diesel is one of the "fractions" produced when refining crude oil so they can't stop making it. There will still be a demand for diesel even if fewer new cars use it. Some car drivers might have to use the truck pump to get diesel, eventually. Be careful with that!

Ever do catalytic cracking at school ?
(Seems to have been dropped in recent years which is a pity)
Basically you take a glass tube about a meter high and fill it with crude oil and then gently heat it.
Over time the crude will separate into it component parts and colours (blues, greens, yellows purples )
White spirit at the top, meths a little lower, petrol, diesel, paraffin, etc all the way down to bitumen at the bottom.

A refinery cracking crude makes a certain percentage of all the petrochemicals.
In Europe we make more petrol that we can use, but don't make enough Diesel.
The Americans make more diesel than they can use, but not enough petrol.
Hence for many years there has been a transatlantic trade on ships swapping European petrol for USA diesel.

However if we leave the EU, the UK will then have more petrol than we need but not enough diesel.
The UK could have the cheapest petrol in Europe, but the most expensive diesel, unless the government taxes one to pay for the other.

My friends company delivered 1212 vehicles last month & 818 & rising to deliver this month. 82% diesel.
Vary rare he brings much home that isn't diesel.
Rememeber there is always red or even heating oil.

Diesel is 1.60 here in Australia.

Mind you, that's in A$ and with an exchange of A$1.88 to the £, that makes it a shade over 85p a Litre.
No wonder the 3.5 Lts 4x4 is King out here.
