Petrol prices- when does the madness end?
Discussion
Something been in the news where diesel prices are so high because the retailer margin is 10% more than petrol, even though the the wholesale cost is less than petrol.
So all those who drive a diesel are getting massively screwed over. I've done a simple comparison and for me a 44mpg diesel vs a 38mph Petrol with the mileage I do is actually only slightly cheaper by £50 (a year) for my diesel car. It's silly to comprehend that a boring family diesel car is no better off than say a 2.0T hot hatch on an eco run. Bare in mind I eco run the diesel and only get 44mpg due to traffic.

Who are you with? I've got a Uk Fuels/Texaco card and it's £1.449 + 1p a litre service charge this week, and I think the card is £18 a year.
UK fuels/Texaco too. Current price £1.51. Ive got a Shell card too but dont tend to use it. Cards are £2.40 a month. Only about 11000 miles a year so not one of their big spenders!carreauchompeur said:

One of my local Sainsburys and Jet garage have diesel at 151.9p at the moment.
True, but not out in the sticks. Beauty of the card is that i can fill up anywhere. Jimmy No Hands said:
Diesel still £1.64 or so here (North Yorkshire village) Maybe it's just BP being robbing b

Nope. Same price in South Yorkshire at BP, Texaco, Tesco, Morrisons. Petrol is £1.43. Think us Yorkshire folk are getting ripped off.ds, but it does seem rather slow to dip around here..
At least equilibrium between what I pay for super at home and what the poor buggers in Hartlepool have to pay for e10 is back in place.cuprabob said:

Sainsbury's in Harrogate was £1.58 the other day.ds, but it does seem rather slow to dip around here..Well considering Saudi producers have just announced a cutback in production of at least 1 million barrels per day in an effort to drive crude prices up, which is predicted to give a 10% rise tomorrow when markets open then the answer to the thread is probably never.
For sure Governments, ours in particular are never going to reduce their rapacious desire for the tax revenue.
The countries producing the crude, well that's evident from para 1.
The oil companies and refiners more of the same breed.
So never.
