Petrol/Diesel prices near you

[bricol]

I remember when petrol was approaching £1 a gallon, and blokes I worked with saying that it couldn't go above a pound a gallon because the pumps couldn't work at costs over a pound.
Well, we all know how that worked out, all new pumps.....

First time I went to live in the US was 99 - I was amused/stunned to see petrol was still around $1 a (US) gallon. But most gas stations had a ".9" screwed to the metal work of the price sign - the sign could only go up to 99c, simply wasn't space for petrol to cost more than 99c a gallon. They were replacing signs all over the place with wider ones.

Roll on a few years, when Katrina hit, gas in Ohio was over $3 a gallon - people were talking about selling their SUVs to get something more economical.

You have to do something to calculate the 'what its worth today' to make these comparisons.

Just mucking around with google, average petrol prices were 79ppl in July 2001. That's the equivalent of a petrol price of £1.50 per litre in today's money. So, not saying I like the current price rises at all, but in real terms, the price has come down until recently?

Late 2021/early 2022 seemed to be a high time for prices, up to 199.9 in June 2022. That might have been super unleaded, but it started dropping back down again a month or two later.

That was the year we saw diesel at 229.9 in Broughton on the Blean in Kent. Couldn't understand why anyone would buy it at that price.

Around that time I was travelling from London to Yorkshire regularly in my xc70...petrol 2.5 turbo with the aerodynamics of a breeze block!

Dozens of trips...think it was £1.80+ for unleaded...quite painful!

Just put £30 in at £1.99 (Frome)
Didn't even turn the low fuel warning off!

I've seen diesel at £1.63 and £1.89 within a mile of each other today.

Its going up rapidly. Upto 142 today and I predict 150 this week in a good area, 160+ in other areas.

Fill up while you can!

Trump was bullpooing about the war ending, Iran is having none of it. America are arsoles and I fully support Iran in the current situation. Unnessasary war to use up old weaponry, civillians that are suffering, not the leaders.

Tesco is the cheapest here at 1.42 for petrol - but they were out of E10 when I went past, and on the way back they had the cones across the entrance.
Managed to finally fill up at 1.44 as I was on fumes - others in the area range from 1.47 all the way up to 1.54.
