Petrol prices on the up again?

[CHJ]

`Total` petrol station local to me (Gillingham, Dorset) has increased the price of unleaded by 4p/ltr in the last 2 or 3 weeks, and now stands at 88.9p/ltr (diesel 100.9)

Anybody else noticed this sudden inflation, or is it just local to here?

[shakotan]

Petrol shot up here about 4p/litre a couple of weeks back, but now its dropped back a penny.

[rfn]

Still 83.9p in Lichfield, Staffs & Cheltenham. Slightly more expensive in Brum though.

[illmonkey]

Stayed a flat 85.9p for a month now.

Are you sure? Last week I paid 82.9p a litre, last night it was 85.9p

[Monki]

83.9p per litre for standard unleaded at the supermarkets in birmingham but 86.9p per litre at Texaco / Shell and 87.9p/l at BP

I am sure there's a reason such as th collapsing sterling, climate change, global warming, credit crunch or something

[G_T]

Gone up here.

[pmanson]

Leighton Buzzard was 82.9p at most of the filling stations this week. Over the weekend both Shell and Tesco went up to 83.9 but now Tesco is on 85.9!

[Agoogy]

Gone up in Bournemouth..and all along A31, M27

derv was 94.9
now 96.9
and in some places 100.9

[Battenburg Bob]

Gone up another 2p for unleaded near me. Morrisons 87.9p and others 89.9p. Diesel starts at 99.9p.

[croyde]

I have noticed this too, the sneaky B'stards.

[RemaL]

as with above, why they doing this

[Agoogy]

So whats the reason? oil price still falling... exchange rates are relatively stable... ish... is it 'sneaky bds' ??

[Adenauer]

€ 1,15 / Litre over here at the moment for unleaded, so 89p sounds bloody good, that's only about 87 cent isn't it?

My local Texaco has been 86.9 for UL for a while then upped to 89.9 a week ago and today went up to 90.9p!

[MentalSarcasm]

Government didn't sneak an extra 2p on the tax last week did they?

[danrc]

I did notice it had gone up a penny around Aberdeen. Still i brimmed the tank on V power after pay day - 88.9ppl

As the value of the £ goes down against US$, petrol will go up.

Now £1 is worth $1.38. Last Januray it was £1 is worth $2.10.

As £ falls further oil will cost us more.

It's a bugger but that's the situation.
