Bp diesel has collapsed here.

Gone from 199.9 which it’s been stuck on for about 2 weeks all the way down to 195.9 this week!

A local garage has gone from BP to Esso branding - and immediately gone from £1.99/L to £1.91!

Snagged £1.86 diesel yesterday in Wyke, Bradford. Couldn't believe my eyes! £50 even pushed me over half a tank!

5p/litre off in Tamworth (Staffordshire) overnight at the supermarkets & now £1.869 for diesel....seems almost a bargain but it's got a fair way to go yet before I think we all feel it's back to normal.

Tesco in Helston, Cornwall is still 186.9 for petrol, 196.9 for diesel today.
The Sainsbury's a mile away is 5p a litre cheaper for both, while the local Texaco is 3p dearer than Tesco.

I don't suppose we'll see the lower "up country" prices here until the "emmets" go home in September.

You must be a saint to never:

- Buy goods from supermarkets delivered by diseasle trucks
- Get packages delivered by diseasle vans
- Purchase Chinese goods transported by diseasle ships
- Eat crops cultivated by diseasle tractors
- Travel on diseasle trains
- Hail diseasle taxis
- Attend outdoor events powered by diseasle generators
- etc, etc, etc

How on earth do you avoid all those diseasles? scratchchin

Diseasel
A taunt used against diesel engines in Thomas the Tank Engine, the greatest stories and Tv shows ever written. It is perfectly applicable to other diesel things... diesel cars, diesel trucks, Vin Diesel, etc...

F'kin hell, climb down off your high horse and untwist your knickers. It's on old substitution for the word diesel that I decided to use for my own personal amusement, but you seem to have become mortally offended by it. :S

Yeah….filled up with unleaded at 178.9 and drive past a day later and it was 173.9.

It’s pretty sad when you’re pleased to see low 170’s.

If £10 is of so little value to you then I’ll pm you my bank details and you can give it to me. wavey
