Price of diesel

[sfalcus]

ranging from 113.9p at shell garages to 123.9p at BP garages.

 

[T. Spark]

This sucks, now 115.9p at shell garage's and they are the cheapest

 

[Funkyfin2000]

114 in stafford, but thats low.....

seen 118,120 in other places...

cost me £68 to fill the leon the other day.....that was vented...

 

[PhilOfCas]

i remember years ago on Top Gear (i think), they mentioned it was £60 to fill a Range Rover, i thought at the time that that figure was a mini mortgage, Christ almighty, it's now 60 quid to fill yer average car, "chuff me tatie ash" (as me mate at work says).

Ineos(used to be BP) Refinery Grangemouth- workers striking over pensions next Sunday and Monday .27th and 28th April.Fuel supplies will definitely be affected.

Any Scottish or North of England members would be well advised to fill up before the madness starts!.They reckon it might well push up prices even further in the areas affected..
No doubt we'll see the same queues a mile long as when the fuel protest was on.

 

[Torquemonster]

Update on my above post.Latest is -the Refinery is now in the process of shutting down for the strike(it's a long process).
The 2 day strike could cripple fuel supplies for' up to a month'.
Restarting it will take ages as well.
Ineos ain't budging,so it's time to fill up your jerry cans!.

[cardaft]

My local sheel which i always use is at 116.9 for diesel now.

Its getting to the potin that people need very economical diesels to make up for the extra at the pumps!

This country is a joke

 

[HugoTdi]

I think its a complete joke, my wages haven't gone up to cover increases in petrol and food and .... it just never stops.

RIOT

 

[Lambfoot]

CO2 not the only fruit

Like most, I have agonised over whether to buy petrol or diesel power next time. I turned up some interesting 'facts'.

Citroen C1 is about the most economical vehicle currently available, polution figures:

C1 1.4D C1 1.0i

CO2 109 109
NOx 0.24 0.010
Particulates 0.011 0
CO 0.18 0.37


Both are 'dirty' in different ways. Surely the problem is the internal combustion engine, not the fuel, which all comes from petroleum anyway.

As far as running costs are concerned. Based on as much info as I could find on the web, (Not accounting for the cost of a replacement DPF.) it would take me six years to make a diesel economical. I tend not to keep cars that long!

 

[jonjay]

just a matter of time before other unions are really effected by the fuel prices and they strike...

 

[PhilOfCas]

which unions jonjay ?
