Petrol/Diesel prices near you

[Melvyn Best]

£1.92.9 for diesel in one of our local fuel stations, I haven’t looked at any others

 

[T5 TDI]

In places in Cornwall it's £1.98 per litre and we have heard of over £2 locally.

 

[Kayos]

Went to Lincoln today, diesel seemed to be around the £1.94 mark

Fun fact of the day the UK doesnt source it's oil from the middle East but we get it from the US, Norway and our own supplies in the North Sea.

Technically we shouldn't be seeing shortages or massive price increases

Roughly 12% of UK oil imports (including diesel, jet fuel & heating oil) come from Middle Eastern nations like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and the UEA.

This number has been dropping over the years and I guess will continue to drop.

However all oil is bought, sold and therefore priced on the global market

Hence we all suffer

But at least the mega rich will continue becoming more rich, and that is a foundational principle of this global market

There's the problem, priced on a global setting so no competition.

That's the way it is, and it won't ever change, but it doesn't have to be that way.

$4.09 a gallon for regular unleaded today.

I think that's about 81p per litre? Thats cheap!! UK is about double that. Life would feel so much easier if we had your fuel prices.

 

[Olderisbetter]

A place by me is still £181.9/l always has the lowest price

 

[northwest]

It'll probably be a sensible thing to start parking it inside the workshop too so that I don't have to worry about thieving scrotes drilling the tank.

Oh it is happening, massive problem at the mo and only going to get worse, much worse I would think.

 

[W.olly]

A few folk have asked me what wil happen if its gets to the point we do run out. ?

The way its going nobody can say.

 

[Kram]

The US is a much bigger place, so fuel being cheaper per litre doesnt nessasarily mean they are spending less.

@Erie Fred what would you say is a normal milage over there?
Here, I'm doing 10-14k miles a year.

Are you the man to ask if things are running out….

There is a lot that a health care system does not cover!

I can average 25k plus in the UK per year, that's even in our little country.

I've been at or around 12k a year on the van since I got it new in 2014, plus another 12 to 18k a year on whichever couple of bikes are on the road at the time. It just doesn't make sense trundling around in a van carrying just me and my lunchbox no matter what price fuel is.

I'd love a bike but I need to take stuff with me when I travel. I have a pretty economical (car wise) BMW I use for all these long trips now.

I still maintain if fuel prices were lower people would be happier and spend more elsewhere.

 

[DanZac]

My view with fuel is that if its cheaper people will do more, travel more and being out more, they will spend more leading to greater tax revenues elsewhere.

Which will lead to more congestion, more traffic jams, more damage to the roads and environment and more people bemoaning the state of our roads.

Scotland's NC500 route being a prime example of the problems that encouraging more visitors onto the roads can bring.

Highland communities and businesses will have their say on the NC500's future after overtourism concerns.

Which will lead to more congestion

Does seem like the price increases have reduced traffic quite a bit! I drove the A1 north from London and this weekend I was expecting it to be bad...was pretty clear.

Does help that the black cat roundabout wasn't on diversion though!

Just dropped my lad off at the train station, between 191.9 and 196.9 on the A63 for Diesel

I didn't buy any or look at petrol prices
