How much you paying for fuel.

[GB72]

problem with fuel duty is how it has been used over the years. Back in the days of leaded petrol it was used, and the increase was often encouraged, as a way to cut polution and even now, any significant reduction would be jumped upon by the green lobbiests. Not saying it is right but there will be a section of society rubbing their hands over this if it keeps people out of their cars.

Brilliant eh? What a useless gesture. I filled up at my local Morrisons on Friday - £1.75 a litre. Last night, after 6pm and the price "reduction" it was £1.82

Thanks Rishi ye ***

Ah but that will be tied in with the supermarkets looking to cut the price by 6p on top of the duty cut. Would not be surprised to see that at £1.71 soon so the companies can claim an 11p cut whereas they are actually making 1p a litre more than pre duty reductions.

Read about reducing national speed limit to 60mph to use less fuel

Didn't that happen before?

Wouldn't be a bad idea but people don't like being told how fast to drive as it is

More political comment.

And if you look hard enough, you see an ironic contradiction of this own point

But it's just reality...what matters is what we pay...and so I have just found out that my local BP station...yesterday 169.9p/l ... today ... 169.9/l. So as I said. They only thing that matters to the consumer is what we actually pay.

What will bring the cost of fuel down...I am thinking the big supermarkets slashing their cost and that would force the rest to follow suit. Would be delighted if government applied a price cap.

And I'll note - the topic is How much you paying for Fuel...and so what the government did yesterday should impact directly on what we pay as that was the intention. I simply note that on a sample of one - and it's not a supermarket - it hasn't. Well not yet at least. Market forces and consumer willingness to pay determine the cost.

Thanks everyone for your concern.

First off, im not too proud to admit it, I wasn’t prepared for what happened.

I'm OK though I was a bit shook up. If you don't already know, I was robbed at the petrol station earlier today. I was in utter shock at what some people think they can get away with.

I called the Police and thankfully, they were quick to respond. They noted that there had been a spate of similar reports in the area so, be vigilant!!! ?

They calmed me down because I was so angry and my blood pressure went through the roof! I’m sad to say that my money's gone, and unlikely to be returned.

The police asked me if I knew who did it and I told them, "Yes, it was pump number 1."

Our Tesco knocked 5p off overnight....from what I could see, not many others did..
The Esso near me put theirs up.....

what would bring the price down is the oil price falling, as it is its up nearly 15% in the last week

???? brilliant Phil,saw it on Twitter earlier ?

I didn’t expect the duty to be passed down. Who here has paid a penny less on a pint after the last budget?

 

[SocketRocket]

Paid £1.57 for unleaded at Sainsbury's today.

It's still lower than early March, and the drop from $130 to $98 didn;t see a drop either. Oil companies are profiteering.

They can laugh now, this is going to backfire, people are going to riot this summer over this and other massive inflationary rises

Does anyone know why there is a price cap on energy but not on petrol/diesel? Isn’t this ‘basically’ the same?

Is it due to longer term energy contracts versus daily choose of which pump to use?

Energy is a basic need, everyone has to use it. Driving is deemed a luxury

Just filled up with diesel for the first time in a couple of weeks. The fuel gauge was showing just under 1/4 but it still cost over £100. That's never happened before, even when it's been running on fumes.
Fortunately, it'll be nearly 800 miles in eco-mode before I have to do it again.

 

[PJ87]

Using My petrol prices app cheapest diesel is 168.9p

Mrs goes away Monday with kids

Taking the juggernaut

Filled it up months ago got 3/4 tank

Will be painful when she gets home lol

 

[rudebhoy]

Stopped at Scotch Corner services this morning, £1.89 for unleaded!

Decided I wasn't going to pay that so took a slight detour into Darlington, £1.57 at Morrisons.

 

[Tashyboy]

Took me parents to downtown near Grantham on the A1. That’s four hours I will never get back. diesel £1.90 plus a litre ?

 

[fundy]

Oil back below $95 a barrel today. Should see that filter through into petrol prices in a few mth time ........
