Petrol/Diesel prices near you

[Cato]

I've just passed that filling station I filled up at on Thursday morning at £1:34 a litre for diesel. It's now £1:59.9 per litre.

 

[OJCar]

Rate of rise seems to be slowing around here.
Had been 2-3ppl daily rise.

Derv 141.9ppl
UL 131.9ppl


We're still not quite at the prices that we were at in 2023.

 

[reb78]

143.9 at my local Tesco for diesel yesterday. The others round here have stuck theirs up 10 to 15ppl more than that. I hope they go out of business!

Doesn't seem to be any panic buying here yet.

 

[Cato]

I wonder if the prices for used 125 motorbikes and scooters will go up now too? They're already cheaper to run door to door than public transport, with fuel prices climbing. 150 mpg from a Honda CB125 seems pretty attractive under the circumstances.

Recently had large solar instal including 2 x 12kw batteries, but im still dumping up to 26kwh back into the grid some days in Feb!! installer says will likely be up to 40kwh per day in summer.
Have been looking at getting electric Car/Bike as another way to use surplus, but bikes are stupid money. £4K for a 125cc equivalent.
C90 step though looks on the cards. just not the field bike variant this time.

 

[Seadog]

My local Jet has reappeared and is 131.9, which is tHe same as BP for unleaded.
Diesel 143.9

 

[julianthegypsy]

Tesco cirencester 1.35.9 for petrol yesterday. It's always 5p a litre more than the tescos in Gloucester.

If you fix the bodywork on this it would be a cheap EV:

We went out yesterday and went past (one of) the local Jet garage. It was 149.9
When we came back it had gone up to £151.9
We have a trip planned soon, it's not looking to be cheap

Good C90s at a sensible price are hard to find. The C125 , a far better bike, can be had for similar money. The Vision 110 can be had new for about £2000.

Local tescos £1.50 derv, Caithness.

@Dozzer

I give you the Honda 2014 AFS110i - the evolution of the humble C90 - 4 gears - electric & kick starter - centre and side stand - 8.5hp 108cc - lights that work - disc front brake - forks that work - 120mpg + - 99kg dry weight - £26 a year RFL. That's mine... (had it nine years).

In Asia - that is a family car...

Just looked even they make £2k

Oil hit $119pb in early trading, down to $102 now panic has slowed. still not good for Air travel & all other things that have become addicted to cheap fuel.

 

[8ob]

Filled up the two stroke cans the other day, all seems to be up by about 10p per litre around here. Very busy on the forecourts atm with folk muppets trying to squeeze a fivers worth of fuel into their tanks.

Paid £1350 in 2017 for a 3yr old one with 5k on the clock.

Think CB125F new at £2999 to £3299 on the road - the best price/highest MPG little bike you can buy now.... (that maybe what I replace my Honda Wave with).

 

[RichardM]

I have 10 ltrs of unleaded in a can which I had forgotten about, does this count to make me "rich beyond my wildest dreams", or should I keep it for a couple more weeks!

As personal transport for commuting they make so much sense, and with the cost of living generally, already high travel costs and the added fuel increase I imagine many will start looking at them seriously for urban travel and commuting. If we have a dry-ish summer they will be in high demand.

My workshop is 1.25miles from my house - the traffic is dense - the speed limits are 30mph one way - or 20mph the other way. If I choose the third route option - the bypass - that is 40mph speed limit.

When factories turned out in the 70's for shift changes - there was a steady stream of cycles and mopeds coming out of the gates....

I think many who aren't familiar with riding a motorbike often overlook how much they can shorten journey times without the need to break speed limits or laws. Simply working your way through/past congestion makes a huge difference.

My workshop now is 10 miles from home, almost exactly a 50/50 split between urban and rural dual carriageway. Depending on time of day and traffic the travel time in the van varies between 20 and 40 minutes. The same times of day on the bike vary between 15 and 20 minutes, then there's the reduced fuel consumption which includes the fuel saved by not sitting for 5 minutes waiting to cross the M40 junction for example.
