Fuel Prices

Is diesel still about $1.20?

About that but you have to pay a per-km road user charge on top of that for diesels

That's something I didn't know.

Wondered why there were so few soot-clouds on the roads given the big difference in price

Also because NZ's cars tend to be older imports, most diesels are the old-generation ones.

This has convinced Kiwis that diesels are rubbish and they need a lot of persuading to try a modern diesel.

It's turning around though.

Same with the Skoda brand

Surely there must be something the petrol/diesel buying public can do about the recent large increases?

Fill up at Morrisons and save yourself 7p a litre?

[Aspman]

the problem is down to Mr Brown () .

So what's the solution?

It is bonfire night tonight

[sms]

104.9 last night :(

[JMC]

108.4p for Diesel in Beeston, Notts!!!!!

[AlphaPapa]

I paid 108.9 yesterday for v-power

[sharkrider]

I always used to use BP ultimate....

now I'm on the standard stuff to try and save money, If the goverment wants to be "eco-friendly" by putting up the tax again to make us drive less, they should think about it this way..

I HAVE to do 800-1,000 miles a week for work, I used to use ultimate (no smoke from the exhaust) I now use standard, and my car is smoking like my furby used to! so they have directly caused me to emmit more pollution.... :thumbdwn:

Paid 100.9 for diesel this morning in Watford.

[Skodaboy1983]

100.9 in Edinburgh but Asda selling at 98.9 at the minute in edinburgh.

You can guess where I'll be going tonight.

I always used to use BP ultimate....

Me too, but the price of it is ridiculous now. 115.9p (diesel and petrol).

So it's 95RON or smoky diesel for me - 99.9p and 104.9p respectively :(

[cheezemonkhai]

How about they apply VAT only to the non tax portion of the fuel rather than charging VAT on the price with fuel tax applied.

VAT is a tax on luxury items and if tax is a luxury item, can I do with out it please.

As for where to save the money... well it looks like this getting 18 yr olds doing apprenticeships should keep some of the lazy feckers off dole and at the same time have companies paying something towards them while they actually work.

Drove down to the south west coast of France this summer and was paying around 1 euro a litre for diesel. Have friends down there and its still at 1 euro a litre thats around 70p? Where as I am paying 97.9p/litre for diesel:mad:. Uk tax sucks.

[Dr Zoidberg]

Diesel is cheaper in france but unleaded is much closer to uk prices.

AA Roadwatch : European Petrol Prices

Worst I've seen so far is £1.10 for diesel!!!!

If you want to stay current with petrol and diesel prices locally then register with Free UK fuel prices. 9,762 petrol stations covered - PetrolPrices.com.

Register, give them your postcode and they send you regular emails telling you the nearest cheapest fuel available to you.

I get a weekly email on Mondays and generally find my local Morrisons is the cheapest, but not always.

Shell are sometimes cheaper by a penny or less!

[Mike B]

If it's any consolation prices seem fairly consistent across the country..........

F***ing expensive.

This week I are mostly been driving like Sister Wendy:thumbdwn:

And BP excel at Taking the p1ss

[Babs]

and now I've seen derv at 100.9... :(

[Wet Kipper]

same here.

I got some on Sunday at 98.9 - drove past the same garage on Tuesday and it was up to 100.9

[Aspman]

Tesco in Dundee is still quite cheap (relatively)

98.9p for unleaded

100.9 for super

101.9 for derv

I've seen diesel at 107.9 in some places and unleaded not far behind.

[SteVRs]

The oil companies make very little per litre, the government make a horrific amount. They even calculate the tax as a % of net, rather than a %age of gross to make it seem less.

Anybody fancy a coup?
