My 4 are £587 so I’d guess if he isn’t over £1k I’d be amazed 😂

Also, I bet he has a spreadsheet for that already.

Good grief. That would be scary. The van took £130 yesterday from nearly-empty, that’s the only diesel vehicle I have now and petrol is a bit cheaper but the Scimitar & Galaxie both have pretty big tanks.

I think the answer could easily be the wrong side of £1k :shock:

I was thinking a grand or more, yes. Hope you had them all filled before the current prices!

Still big queues for fuel around here. I need to get 130 miles tomorrow night and none of my vehicles (even the broken one) has enough for that. I can't find anything in the mainstream media about this. I reckon after the hysteria of last time they've just ignored it.

Anyone know if the nutters have gone home yet?

Filled up in Belgium today @ £1.52/litre for diesel. We are being shafted by our government.
Cheers.

It's true. 😀

Put 21.50 quid in my motorbike yesterday. The max previously was 15.

Just filled up both cars at the nearest station, a Shell. Merc only took £22 but the Yeti took £60

They had both flavours of petrol but no diesel, and no queues at all.

Starmer was tweeting about it an hour ago.

I think the loonies are on rotation TBH. Government needs an injunction I think then throw the lentil munchers in the clink for a few months.

The prices around here have dropped a bit compared the high point but are still well up compared to even a month ago. There don't seem to be any shortages of anything. A2 petrol fuel light came on at 297 miles, the tdi's at 497; that's ok for a 34l tank in the petrol but I'd rather the 42l one the derv has :roll:

Looks like the Jag is going to be £150 on the next fill up, then. :?

One of the garages in Newquay is charging the same price for petrol and diesel (187p) - I’ve never seen that before.

Local Indy garage told me the next refill they get will mean another 5p/L. They were already charging 179.9 for UL. Nearly £30 to fill the Fazer up now 😭

£86 into the Yeti and it was probably about £8 off empty.

Unleaded and Diesel are both >180p at my local garage. I might leave the fuel light on a little longer 😂

Even at the good old exchange rate when you could knock a third off that's :shock:
We've got 35+mph winds coming from that direction here atm, so I guess you're going out not coming back and they're just making things worse :(
