Petrol/Diesel prices near you

That's why I want to get the hell out of London early today and maybe top up the van if I can.
I wish I'd bought more veg oil at £1.28 a liter a couple of weeks ago, it's up to £1.50 now!

Queued for ages for petrol at my BP. As it got to my turn the ‘sorry out of fuel’ notice was slapped on. ARGHHHH!
Got home and fixed the puncture on my bike. Adjusted the gears, and now I’m going to cycle to work. That’s 9 miles each way. Guess I’ll deserve an extra Weetabix for breakfast now.

So what if everyone used less fuel and electricity and more pedal power. How will they recoup their tax? Can’t tax my Weetabix - I hope.

Topped up the tank again yesterday with E10 at 150.9 (was 147.9 the previous day)
Drove past it today 155.9

Seems to be going up about 4p daily now.

 

[Robotstar5]

Taking mrs Robo for a hospital appt this morning and passed one doing 149.9 so may top the tank off on the way home, if there's any left

Didn't Humberside go bust but was rescued by Philips 66 ?

Philips 66 website says that they are still refining at Humberside.

@Blobber stick your head out of the window and have a look-see for us...

As far as I'm aware the refinery side has closed, most of the employees have been sacked off, pretty sure they used to refine 25% of the UKs diesel

I hadn't given it much thought previously, but I imagine engine oil will be shooting up in price soon too.

Put some diesel in this morning at the cheapest place around here £184.9. Pump only allowed me £99.

I just posted in another thread, car service cost has had to be increased by £20 due to oil prices.

I'm currently running at £12:00 per litre as the chargeable figure to supply the oil and cover the waste oil disposal and that's half the price of some local garages.

It sometimes raise an eyebrow when I explain that if a customer supplies the oil they can either pay £6:00 a litre for disposal or take the old stuff away with them. Some seem to think that garages make this stuff up.

Waste oil can be burnt

I was buying oil at roughtly £2/L and free to dispose of at the tip, but currently I might save the waste engine oil for the big chainsaws. Used to consume it all as bike chain lube.. couple of big squirts each morning.

You may be able to burn it but I'm not, and there is literally nothing that's free for a company to dispose of and which doesn't require paperwork to show how/where/by who it was disposed.

Local morrisons now 150/185, Glasgow Costco is 147/177. Petrol seems to be more stable now though I think we need another pandemic as miss the almost £1/L petrol during

Just had an email form SafetyKleen to say that they're adding a "temporary" £2:00 fuel surcharge for every service visit now. Just the first of a few such emails I expect.

Is that like the "temporary" 70 mph speed limit applied last time there was a big oil crisis from the same area?

We haven't had self sufficiency, in any realistic sense, for years.

I agree, but while its happened under our noses, its kind of happened by stealth, just a continual and steady decline that noone has moved to put a stop to because i think many didnt really realise the extent of decline.

I've always said that the average person won't realise until the lights go off!

 

[roofman]

Just paid £1.87 empty forcourt with every pump on. Topped up the work van with £70 for next weeks roofing battles.

 

[dobbslc]

£1.86 for diesel at Tesco at Staples Corner with a few empty pumps but not busy.
Topped the van up as I was under half a tank and picked up some contraband for the Surf...


£1.40 a litre with a club card.

We had a large waste oil tank, probably 800/1000l, and I was talking to the tanker driver when he came to empty it and asked where it went to. Apparently to a power station down south that burned it. He said he collected from one of the big car dealer workshops on a weekly basis. Bet he doesn’t these days.

Back in the day it all used to go into the Salamander along with a bit of contaminated fuel mixed in. When that got running emissions wasn't an issue, you could see the flu glowing from the other side of the workshop.
