Weird. Diesel is still 3-4p more than petrol where I live.

there is no consistency with the pricing in my area at the mo.
tescos and 1 shell garage is 101.9 petrol and 105.9 diesel
but another shell sarage a couple of miles away is 104.9 petrol and 103.9 diesel.
prices are getting silly again. perhaps the with the cutbacks in government expenses they can subsidise fuel prices slightly?

You're just going to have to suck it up like the rest of us I'm afraid.
Petrol's up to about 99.9/l where I live at the moment. Haven't checked diesel. Fortunately I'm no longer doing 40mi/day, so haven't needed to fill up my tank for a while now.. should probably do it soon though before it gets more expensive trade off between being less fuel-efficient by carrying more onboard, and paying more for it through waiting longer between fill-ups.

All I can say is...so?
Prices have been rising for years (dropping sometimes, but over all rising), and I couldn't careless, it costs whatever it costs. I need fuel, I fill up, I pay for it, it's that simple.

Compared to the peak they are but they are almost double since the drop in January.

Here we go again, another petrol price thread full of fantasy and made up pricing. No, Sainsburys down the road is not selling unleaded for 94.9p a litre
The gap has closed a lot round here, Asda were selling both at 99.9 until about tuesday when diesel sneaked up to 100.9 which is a massive change from last summer when diesel was running at about 12p more a litre. It's a bit of a relief for me as I opted for a diesel when the prices were only a few pence different and the extra gap was suddenly making my decision seem less than sensible.
No. They may have fallen in $ terms, but we're not paying $s, we're paying £s; and the £ has fallen against the $.

Is there any Texaco that actually has cheap petrol? I wonder how they manage to stay afloat. Always around 3p more then any of the nearest rivals.
