Drop in the ocean £90 a year increase on 15,000 miles a year !

I’m glad my Spanish car manages 60mpg though .

It’s supposed to be banned from Benidorm this year mind

“Once it’s approved, the law will make diesel much more expensive for more than 18.4 million car and motorcycle drivers alone.”

Pity the poor riders of those diesel motorcycles!

“Likewise, the tax increase won’t apply to professional B diesel, used by transporters and farmers”

Are the pumps marked differently in Spain? IIRC in the U.K. all forecourt diesel pumps are ‘B7 Diesel’?

Yes Gasoleo A and B

Yes Gasoleo A and B

What’s to stop you buying the cheapest diesel? Is it like in Blighty where huge fines are imposed for using Red diesel?

Don't do that, when I saw the title, I thought you were talking about Red Wine!

Don't know, other than A is with the usual petrol pumps and B is separate. Oh and I think Gasoleo C is heating fuel which I haven't noticed on sale so much

I don't think the bikers will worry.
When did you last seen a diesel motorcycle.

I'm surprised they did not do this years ago to be honest, especially now with a communist government.

It was said tongue firmly in cheek - but since you ask:

Not exactly, there is the 'super' diesel and the normal diesel. Agricultural diesel is not available in normal petrol stations.

You can't, it is not sold in the petrol stations.

Nothing, unless the petrol station attendant sees you doing it.
If somehow (I don't know how) you get caught by the traffic police with agricultural diesel in your tank, the fine is astronomical.

 

[Peavy]

You can't, it is not sold in the petrol stations.

It is sold Barrie. Not on all petrol stations, but at least here, in my area, there are a few.

 

[Bolti]

It is around our way, but you need a licence to buy it.

Yes plus you need either a licence, your self employed papers or to be a business.

round here it is 'B'

Agricultural diesel is not available in normal petrol station

as Peavy has said it is around here also.

Nothing, unless the petrol station attendant sees you doing it.

Here they will not turn on the pump until you have shown you have entitlement to be using gasoleo B.
Having said that I know of at least 2 places where I have filled containers for our machines with red diesel(B),
one of them I was in & an old boy in a 300D mercedes was filling 25 litre containers & proudly told me that he bought it new in 1998 & that it had never seen one drop of gasoleo A This would have been around 2018.

** There are 5 or 6 petrol stations in Cartagena that are still selling,& have been for months, diesel at 1,03€/litre. average rate here is 1,31€/litre

 

[Bolti]

Yes, even if we chug up to the petrol station in the tractor they won't let us buy B diesel, cause we have no license.

 

[EuroTrotters]

I have recently been running all our diesels on Premium .

On the Motorhome, old 2.8TDI Iveco, can’t really tell. 150,000km

Audi A3 1.9TDIe 100,000 km. Exhaust emissions seem cleaner.

Range Rover 4.4TDV8. As above.

Mercedes Sprinter 4 cylinder 2014 Euro V 60,000 miles. I’m can definitely tell the difference. Far more responsive, much smoother. And around 2mpg more efficient.

I try to fuel up at Costco where I recently paid £1.33 a litre for Texaco premium. It’s now £1.36.

I Spain, we use Repsol with Waylet app

 

[Peavy]

Waylet app

Is it worth it? Just for information.
