Petrol/Diesel prices near you

[Pigeon_Droppings2]

Ill stick to my 46mpg average turbo diesel merc for the forseeable years ahead.

My previous car was a 2003 Volvo xc70 2.5t....it did about 27mph on a run, which was interesting when petrol hit £1.80!

Would have kept my previous V70 d5 but ULEZ killed that off unfortunately.

 

[Barking Mat]

Unleaded petrol, three weeks ago €1.64 today €1.84.

It seems far from over, wonder how much bottles of gas are now ?

 

[Craig-S]

164.9 for Diesel near me, didnt clock unleaded though but i think its around 140ish

 

[Kayos]

Diesel 165.9 at Tesco

£104 to fill up from the light, £84 before all this nonsense

Big Tesco just off the M54 in Telford, they were sold out of everything but Momentum 99, which is all I use anyway. Supplies drying up altogether worries me more than a price spike, what with regular 180 mile round trips to visit my Mum in hospital.

Small independent near me has been dry for over a week, there are delivery trucks about but apparently they keep getting 'gazumped' by the big chains

Petrols gone up by 3p today in my area which is largest jump since it started.

Was watching some project farm YT videos yesterday, various tests using small engines showing that petrol engines will burn quite a wide range of flammable liquids. Interesting to know but none are anywhere near the price of petrol and likely a bad idea in any modern fuel injected car..

Back in the late 50s we had a big British single, probably a Matchless or AJS, that we would buy a gallon of paraffin and a pint of petrol for, paraffin into the tank, unscrew the float bowl top and fill that with petrol. Bump start it and get it hot then switch on the tank. Would run ok on paraffin whilst it was hot but if you stopped and it cooled you had to do the petrol start again. Those days paraffin was half the price of petrol, doubt they would let you fill up a milk bottle with petrol these days.

When I was a trainee lab rat, I experimented with various fuel mixtures in my Vespa.
British Steel paid for the toluene, acetone, benzene, etc.

We used to have a David Brown 25 (aka db Cropmaster) that had 2 tanks. Start on petrol, then switch to kerosene. A local garage when I was growing up had kerosene on pump.
Our one had a rusted tank, so the kerosene tank was used as the petrol tank.
Tractor gone many years ago now.
BTW. In new Zealand, diesel is around 1.50 pounds at present plus road used charges (mileage tax) on top

Its all still cheaper than high end hipster bottled water.

145.9 has been ‘normal’ around here for a while. Yesterday the supermarkets were 159.9 and the Shell was as 189.9. There’s about 1Km between them…

How does this taxation work in NZ...?

How does this taxation work in NZ...?

There is no red diesel here. Road going diesel and ev vehicles pay per km, which varies by weight. It is built into petrol up to 3.5T, and any fool still running aTK bedford with a petrol motor pays extra over that. The weight rating is fully laden by category, so if you are running a truck empty, you still pay the full wack
They are planning to change to all vehicles being on road user tax soonish, due to plug in hybrids not using enough petrol.

A car is typically 7.6 cents per km (around 3p per km) or as I recall, around 2/3 that for a hybrid. You buy in advance and it is checked at WOF (mot) time or if you come to the attention of the coppers or the new speed cameras.
Rates are at

https://www.nzta.govt.nz/vehicles/road-user-charges/ruc-rates-and-transaction-fees

Current exchange rate is $NZ1 = 0.43 pounds.

Despite all the tax, they still can't fix potholes.
