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

Shell in Stafford, 141.9 for e10. Having a larf, 8p per litre more than elsewhere in town

Was in Shrewsbury today for a funeral.

Driving back, I didn't see a single filling station under £1.54 for diesel, some were as high as £1.59.
Until I reached the one less than half a mile form my house - which was still at £1.39! I still had 1/3 of a tank, but wasn't going to miss that - 40 litres at 15p/l less than anywhere else.

It's bad when you've got free tickets for an exhibition but it's £14 parking then at least £40 fuel return when you think, I don't need to go. I'll save that for fuel costs for a holiday. I'm so glad I don't use a car for work.

Very glad wefe redently fixed our energy tariff and Mrs D drives electric. I do so little mileage in the van the fuel cost could quadruple and it'd still be insignificant.

It cant be that expensive if folk are still driving their kids a quarter mile to school, driving Range Rovers, and belting around like Usain Bolt on acid.

With summer approaching, will this fuel cost increase encourage a surge however small of people out of their car and onto something else? Public transport or bikes...?

 

[Oldhippy]

That'd be great.

I've got a few to offload, I'll wait for the covid period type mass hysteria before I prod the marketplace bees nest.

Probably not.
