petrol up

[hot metal]

I have noticed petrol and diesel have gone up 1p a litre locally
they can pack that in .

Still talking around 82.9 in my area around Staffordshire.

I noticed that. It went down fairly steadily for a few weeks, then went up a penny and stagnated there. I don't understand why, but I have a bad feeling that my £28 tank will be a £42 again before long.

that's cheap for diesel - it's 92.9 in north staffs

Oil went up to nearly $50 a barrel last week, but they bottomed out again at about $33. Its currently $42 - No excuse mind

[oscar21]

But it has never decreased to the price it was when oil was sub $40 a barrel last time. 'Fuel is expensive because the dollar is weak, fuel is expensive because the dollar is expensive, it takes months to catch up when the price of a barrel drops, we have to raise the price of fuel; oil has just gone up. bla bla bla. The price of oil is low because nobody wants it, they can put up the price as much as they want, however the fact remains that still nobody wants it. Perhaps were not as daft as they make out.

Not sure what diesel is to be fair. My car doesn't take to kindly to it

Diesel 94.9 in Watford. Well it was the other day.

[mmm-five]

The Morrisons garage has gone up from 82.9 for UL to 84.9 for UL, however the Shell garage is still 82.9.

I just wish they'd show the price of SUL on the board outside the garage as it varies a lot more than UL - especially if I can't get to a Tesco in time.

Enjoy it while it lasts. Current prices are way below the long term trend so you can look forward to an explosion in fuel costs (and general inflation) as soon as there's the slightest hint of improvement in the global economic situation.

So is this increase linked to the spike that happened early in Sept or just because they can ?

Great, i'm averaging 18mpg at the moment and i'm enjoying the reasonable prices.

You know it's worth it for the smile alone though, right?
