Heading up to £2 a litre, trust the Germans to hopefully find a solution.

Germans get €9-a-month travel in response to energy price rises - BBC News

I travel a lot on trains and buses and they are being underused so let's go for it here.
Even more than that I would love to feel safe riding my bike.
The attitude of some motorists towards cyclists is that they should not be on the road.
While I'm on the subject let's get caravans off the road forever.

One massive problem with it is that we sold off our railways

And we closed down lines when the car became king.
Fares do need to drop significantly. It's no wonder most trains are only on average about half full.
The way we get around has to change and it's still a decade or more away.

And the attitude of some cyclists is that they own the roads and traffic lights are for motorists only!

This is aimed probably at more rural folk. How much are you paying for heating oil? Just up the MIL in Cumbria for the BH and I am shocked at what she is paying! £850 for 750L. It only lasted 6 weeks!

We are in the new Forrest over the weekend. I have seen 187.9 for petrol, 190 for diesel. Luckily I filled up enough to get home from here before we set off.

170.9 today for Petrol at Sainsbury's.
Three BP petrol stations within 2 miles of me are charging 179.9p, 182.9 and 186.9 for Petrol. The latter is the first I've seen with diesel cheaper at 185.9.
I can see even bigger profits for the oil companies coming up.

£734.74 for 750 ltrs. We have about 300 ltrs left which should last until September with a bit of luck. Not sure it will be cheaper then, but don't want to spend the money now. Petrol is 180.9p at Shell, but 168.9 at Sainsburys. Will probably be more tomorrow

6 weeks isn't long though, do they have an aga or something?

Turns out she had knocked a little red valve off that was just inside the lid of the tank that cut off the oil! I turned it on, reset the boiler and it was sorted. Not sure how much she had left but it was about 18 inches up on the dipstick she uses.

Tbh I’m not sure if she did actually pay £850 for 750L. When I had a look online a shade over £1 a litre is common.

PS… was shocked on the way home to see unleaded for £1.94 per L at Scotch Corner!

I'm sure the local stations work in a cartel. One hikes petrol up to £1.86 which is 10p above the others, then the others put it up to £1.81 and it looks like they are cheap.

It’s the new normal. They know we pay £1.70, why should they go down to £1.35 again?
That post I made in March as a reply on a comment that the barrel got cheaper again. The fuel tax discount has been swallowed up by price hikes, £1.70 hasn’t been seen for months now.

Maybe as a society we have to declare we avoid the big ones like BP and buy at Tesco/Saunsbury/… until they are selling at £1.70 or lower again. Encourage them to compete against each other on price again, rather than sharing the windfall between them.

Tesco etc were 172.9 around here at the weekend. I hadn't realised how much it had gone up and had run my tank down:mad:
