How much you paying for fuel.

[Pants]

As I may have mentioned before , "tied" petrol stations sell at/about what they are told to sell at by their supplier, independently owned stations (while still only selling one brand of fuel) sell at whatever they want i.e. rip off merchants.

As a current example, local Shell independant 197.9/l for unleaded,

I rest my case my Lud

Drove past a petrol station in bexleyHeath last night and it was 190 for unleaded

 

[Orikoru]

I bought some at 180 last week. Now it's nearly 200 in quite a few places.

To fill an average car from today, as quoted by the RAC, will be around £100. That means that you will be paying the chancellor £46!

 

[patricks148]

Should have filled up yesterday, was £1.77 at tesco, stopped on the way back from Nairn today and gone up to £1.84.9 for diesel. Almost £120 to fill up the passat☹

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

In central Sheffield this pm I passed a Shell service station that was 190p for unleaded (or near enough that makes damn all difference) and 200p for diesel. Oof.

Which can then go towards old age pensions for people who now live far longer than they did when I was a nipper.
The money has to come from somewhere.

How do other countries take much less in fuel duty but pay much higher state pensions?

Other forms of taxation are higher!

Eg Ever bought a beer in Norway?

 

[IanM]

Paid 188.9p for diesel in Newport this evening.

Blimey, that felt like a result!

I don't know .......................... maybe they have higher rates of income tax etc..

They tax businesses properly

That's nuts! (makes you wonder what size the 'average' car is too & is it made by Massey Ferguson )


Different market but creeping past £1.40 here, but it still took £40 to fill the wee Honda jazz yesterday (from near empty)

 

[Ethan]

Put £124 of diesel in the car the other day. Biggish tank, though.

Maybe very poorly funded healthcare producing much fewer old people.

In the case of Norway, wise investment of oil profits into a Sovereign Wealth Fund, highish taxes and a social sense of fairness and reduced income inequality. So pensions are good, wages high, health and education excellent and people can still earn good money and a high standard of living.

Diesel suddenly down to £1.44/litre around here - cheaper than petrol. When did that happen?

Last week I think. I noticed it at the local BP.

Got petrol at Tesco on Friday, think they got it wrong as it was dispensing at 114.9 so I happily filled up. Later on it was 141.9, think someone had morning fog brain

 

[Deleted member 21784]

Recently filled up the big car @ £1.39 a litre, average prob 40 mpg so 15p a mile

My night rate for electric dropped in April to 9.5p a kw and with the warmer weather of 4mile per kw average I'm looking at around 2p a mile for the small car

Both going the right way

It’s not going to last though….

Remember this cost of living “Crisis” is caused by one thing. Corporate Greed.

Are supermarkets profiteering from high food prices?

Supermarkets are making profits of hundreds of millions of pounds - but these amounts have fallen dramatically year-on-year. Are they really cashing in on the cost of living?
