What's with the fuel prices! And cheap whisky, apparently ...

Saw a new place in Aintree a day ago at £123.99
possibly a opening offer - but I was annoyed that I had just filled up at 129.99

Petrol prices are weird

long ago we always had the cheapest prices anywhere near here - always lower

and the Esso station near us was always the cheapest around
which forced the Tesco, ASDA etc to try to match them

Then after a while the Esso station started to still be the first to lower its price
but the supermarkets responded quickly to match it
Then drop by another penny

now that still happens but the prices are now slightly higher than the lowest elsewhere
which is annoying

And the price of petrol is going up already.

Tesco's in Wellingborough was 131.9 at the weekend now 134.9

I'm ashamed to say I don't know the price of petrol.

No reason, yet, except for a bit of profiteering!

Jumped 4p a litre at my local on Monday morning. Far too early for any increase in oil prices to have worked through.

On a slightly different note, we are on oil heating and called our supplier just now to top up our tank after the winter usage as usual.

Panic buying of domestic heating oil apparently. Usually deliver next day but now can’t deliver for 2weeks. Also can’t give us a price per litre as that will be given 2 days before delivery.

Yes - the oil for the petrol currently in the pumps came through the straits months/weeks ago

so any price increase not is just big companies doing what big companies do


watch for the price dropping MUCH slower once the price of crude drops after all this is sorted

Texaco, Kingsthorpe, petrol 128.9 ppl yesterday. Now 130.5 ppl. Diesel 144.9 ppl

BP Kingsthorpe petrol 134.9 ppl. Diesel 146.9 ppl

Not sure about Red House yet but I doubt I'll get on the forecourt on a Friday afternoon!

 

[gbb]

Yep, a couple pence a litre 'hike' here. In reality, that means an extra £1 to fill the tank.
Im not really bothered about that particually, its the cynical way prices go up before those increases are even on the shipping, let alone in the country, in a tanker, let alone the forecourt !!!

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

Gone up from 129.9 to 131.9 here

Just paid £1.50 a litre for 99 RON this evening

Referencing my post about heating oil, it went from 60p a litre to £1.20 a litre this week. Cost of heating just doubled……

Saturday 7th

Filled up the Kodiaq on Tuesday (as my daughter would confirm, l top it up at circa the 3/4 full mark)
It was £1.42 diesel

I’ve just been walking the dog & came back up the ‘main’ road (was A655, before that was affixed to the bypass)
One garage (which was in the news a while ago) was £1.47diesel

The Texaco, further down towards the M62 was £1.67 diesel

 

[wiggydiggy]

Ive had £1.23.9 to £1.24.9 for a while, jumped to £1.33.9, I haven't driven for a week mind so only needed 1/4 tank.
