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

30th May petrol at local Sainsburys 1.66
Today (3 weeks later) the same Sainsburys - 1.87.

Finally reached the £9 per gallon mark for diesel at the local fuel station with a 5p per litre (2.5%) increase today. Petrol is still (just) under £1.90 per litre.

I was out last night & saw several garages where diesel was £198.9 it was as though none of them were prepared to break the £2.00 per litre barrier YET!

Diesel £2.05 at a Texaco on the A59 in Harrogate; no doubt long queues at the nearby Asda https://thestrayferret.co.uk/harrogate-fuel-station-breaks-2-a-litre-threshold-for-diesel/

193.9 E10, 199.9 Diesel at Tesco Weston Favell, Hamtun this afternoon.
I filled up for 186.8 E10 at a Shell garage in Rushden.

On my trip up the A.1 to the York Rally, didn't notice any particular evidence of many folk driving more slowly to save fuel.
At 60mph, I was one of the slower vehicles both ways.

And all that time, the treasury is making more and more on fuel taxes.

We averaged 43 mpg in MrsF's Qashqai petrol in 400 miles of driving in Wales - most on slow A roads, up and down hills. Would have gone in mine, but we couldn't fit some furniture in my car as it's a 'saloon', so the boot opening is a bit small with seats down. Quite happy with that MPG 👍

Lot of debt to recoup, lots of motorists, sensible.
this thread not the place for politics though.
I paid 184.9 for E10 at Esso yesterday. Should have got the previous night when it was 182.9

I started this thread on 17th July last year. I was shocked that petrol had risen to 133.9 ppl!!

Averaged just over 60mpg in Diesel Passat recently touring round North Wales, with 4 adults and luggage - can't argue!
