Don’t know.. you have to set the limit to what you wish; just select where it says £100 and it gives you options

I put £37 in my bike the other day, which really is a new low slash high slash fucking hell. Then later on £108 in the Jag. And its still high 170s around here if you know where to go.

Today I noticed petrol the sabe price as diesel pretty much everywhere. It’s been ~15-20p/litre cheaper recently so that’s charged quickly. Diesel has gone up a bit, petrol has gone up a lot.

It’s coming Gav - I saw a place where petrol was 192.9 and diesel 187.9 on the A40 near Cheltenham. Into Cheltenham and the first garage was 181.9 for petrol and 189.9 for diesel.

The gap between petrol & diesel always narrows in the summer. Diesel is closely related to fuel oil and demand for that obviously drops off as the weather improves.

Topped up at a Shell a couple of days ago, £1.77. I'd forgotten about it until shopping yesterday and Sainsbury had it at £1.75. I can't remember how much diesel was, £1.80-something in both cases.

A little progress at least. Only another 50p or so to go 
Lurpack was £5.50, a couple of quid down (not that I've ever bought it).

Wholesale fuel costs have fallen a lot more though. Garages are profiteering.

I paid 182 in Tesco in Porthmadog 2 weeks ago now where it was 195 at home. As the fuel comes from Southampton or Haverford West which are similar distances (well Southampton is closer) the transportation argument is invalid, it's basically how much the fuel companies feel they can gouge the local population.dinny_g wrote: Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:10 am To be fair, I should have gone to Tesco's but I was in a rush

As has been mentioned before the wholesale costs of fuel has gone down and never ever reached the heights it did from 2011-2013 yet was over 50p a litre more expensive and the fuel companies have made huge profits recently. It can only be that they are gouging the customer and the government isn't inclined to intervene due to the fact they are raking in more in taxation due to the high pump prices (and they need it to help pay for 2 years of furlough, free money and vaccines).

162 for regular unleaded and 170 for the good stuff at Costco. Maybe we should be a bit more French and start burning down the other petrol stations

Plus incentivises population to move to elec vehicles.. they can then introduce road usage taxes earlier and gouge even more!drcarlos wrote: Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:46 amI paid 182 in Tesco in Porthmadog 2 weeks ago now where it was 195 at home.

Did feel I was getting a little conspiracy theorist, but yes, don't disagree with that. It does suit to just do nothing at the moment.IanF wrote: Thu Aug 04, 2022 4:23 pmPlus incentivises population to move to elec vehicles.. they can then introduce road usage taxes earlier and gouge even more!drcarlos wrote: Thu Aug 04, 2022 10:46 amI paid 182 in Tesco in Porthmadog 2 weeks ago now where it was 195 at home.

I think while the weather is warm and gas bills are lower they can get away with it but as gas usage increases in autumn something will have to give as people won't be able to afford both high gas bills and high fuel bills. I feel the slow ramp down we are seeing now will bring it lower just in time for the increase in the gas price cap in October and we swap one huge gouge for another.
