Went for the 20p/L regular unleaded tonight at £1.59 rather than super at £1.78. W J King at Farningham.

Apologised to the car that it wasn't getting it's usual Shell V-power. Did give it a shot of Redex when I got home.

£1.80 for Diesel at Westgate Motorhouse this morning. That having been said, they are always far more expensive than most in the area.

Looks like there's a shortage of fuel in Boston, quite a few are asking who has any. Seems Tesco and Asda were empty yesterday afternoon - Not Confirmed.

It was the same up here yesterday, there was a large queue at the filling station, no doubt caused by the same people who still have a load of toilet roll they bought and hoarded in May 2020

 

[Munkul]

I wondered how long these price escalations would trigger another run on fuel.

 

[MysterG]

Just arrived at Sainsbury's to do weekly shop and fill up.
Tanks are empty of petrol and diesel.

wouldn’t be surprised knowing the guy that sent me it …. Didn’t twig as we do get some crazy prices in random garages, there’s always someone who will drive in without looking

Come out from shopping and there is a tanker there ... How do I tell if it's delivering petrol or diesel

Look on the safety plate on the back

Just filled up at ASDA in Arbroath, £1.63for diesel, petrol was £1.55 I think. Esso garage on the way out of town towards Montrose is usually about 4 or 5p/l cheaper but not been that way for a while but I heard Montrose is £1.70 or so.

Both!

Just found out our local Morrisons are out of fuel. But in Burntwood, someone sneezes and everyone panic buys. On Tuesday, I was in Burton and had to go to a few garages to get diesel. That was £1.71.9.

Which only shows, or used to, the most hazardous fuel they are transporting. Or even from a load or two before if they used the vapour recovery for petrol and are now carrying diesel.

Most tankers delivering in the UK carry mixed loads to minimise journeys - I remember accepting deliveries of unleaded, super unleaded and diesel from the same tanker in a previous life.

If the driver was playing by the rules, standing outside in winter to supervise used to take ages if they used the vapour recovery (as they should have) . . . sometimes there seemed to be fault with the system and it had to be vented to atmosphere . . . quicker delivery by coincidence . . .
