We saw diesel @ €2.49 per litre at one place. Comfortably over two quid.

I filled up this morning, now I’m crying over the life changing £2 I would have saved.
How about not having a sig at all?

The Sainsbury's close to me has come down twice since last night. Diesel has gone from 178.9 to 176.9 this morning then drove past at about 2pm and it was 169.9.

Now nowhere has diesel. Interestingly the one place I found which did have it this morning had no queues. It's a service area on a main A-road junction which is usually more expensive than anywhere else, so I never use it. The price today was less than the places which didn't have any stock :lol:

I hear the lack of supplies is down to protestors at fuel depots.

Issues in Kent too. We're in Devon at the moment, no issues so far, but filled up anyway as 95 was only £1.56 at a place we drove by.

Is there any reason that diesel is 20p a litre more expensive than petrol?

Well, apart from the fact that it's the wrong fuel and I've now got a diesel car?

Earlier at ASDA I saw the lowest prices I've seen for a long time; 141.7 unleaded, 147.1 diesel, 6p/l cheaper than I've seen anywhere else recently.

It's £1.33 by me at the moment....(West Mids). Would be a great time to buy a V8 if not for the interest rates.

Still 145.9 at supermarkets here in east anglia, feels like a rip off when even main road service stations in other places are noticeably cheaper.
