Petrol prices set for record high

stuck 15v quid in at leigh delemere sunday 129 a litre super diesel was 135 , yes its more expensive at the services but that is insane .

if it keeps going up i supect we will have riots ect on our hands.

 

Thought it was going the right way, coming down, hit 110p and now on its way back up

 

My local Shell garage is always 110p. Has only ever gone up to 113 in the last two years ive lived here.

1 mile down the road and the Total are charging 120.

 

supposedly gonna hit a record high come new year, something like 125p per litre which means 140p + at motorway services fricking joke

 

shell always seem to be the cheapest of the proper petrol stations

 

It's due to go up by 1p next month and then there's the VAT increase in the new year.

 

The only Proper petrol station imo

 

116p is the cheapest here

Paid 1.22p per litre this morning for Esso 98

 

cheap

super is 127ish p

 

I don't use petrol or diesel in my cars anymore so couldn't care less

 

Veg Oil its the future , even better now i have my twin tank system up and running.

Can't get any E85 Anywhere though.

 

Just hit 125p round the corner for petrol

 

Think that's bad? Get your backside down to Chelsea then (or rather, don't).
Standard unleaded at a Total garage on Sloane Avenue, SW3 this week;
149.9p per litre...

 

I dont really get it.
Fuel businesses put prices up to keep their bank balance looking good.

Sorry but what is the difference between making 1 profit and 10 profit. It is still profit and they never spend it, it just stills there in a bank doing bugger all. so why not keep fuel prices the same?

Greed pure greed.
We need to do something. I notice if other countries arent happy with something, they rally together and get it change, but here we just say "theres nothing we can do". They charge us sooooo much because they know that we are saying that we cannot do anything.


GRRRRRRRR

 

Erm, no. They don't just leave it sitting there. They invest profit back into their business, or into other businesses. They take enormous risks with it, of a size I probably can't comprehend.
It really wouldn't surprise me to learn that Oil companies sail as close to the wind as investment banks.

 

Heres a risk for them....

Pay off third world debt....then i would be happy with the price increase.

 

Paid 135.9 yesterday for diesel next to the DVLA in Worcester, only put 10 in when I saw the price though.

The way I see it, the oil companies 'make the product' so are entitled to make whatever profit they can get away with, as with any other business. You wouldn't run your own business and charge less for your product than you could.
As mentioned its obviously the tax thats the problem and half or more of the total price, and the only solution is alternative fuel, or try to use less.

 

petrol can be had for 116p round surrey way still, not that I pay for my fuel.
