Fuel price discussion thread (was ‘chaos’)

Some slight decrease on petrol but pretty much everywhere here pinned at 199.99 for diesel, saw one at 193.9 - interesting that even the rip off places don't seem to be going above £2/L so far.

They probably expect £2 to be a psychological barrier that most people will avoid paying and just go elsewhere

I filled up at a station in Wolverhampton the other day at 179. Surprising no queues, it’s been in the local press and everything!

Costco brum is 177 for petrol. So a slight drop.

Probably because the area that station is in means you'll be lucky to get away with your car

3-5p drop around Gloucester on Petrol.

Can you recall their price for super? I filled up yesterday at Costco in Chester and that was still at 189.9.

Sorry I didnt check, but its generally a 5p difference.

We're still at 189.9 for E10 around here.

Great thing about Costco is they publish prices online and update reasonably frequently.

Birmingham store is currently showing...

Unleaded Petrol
180.7
Premium Unleaded Petrol
185.9
Premium Diesel
186.7

Prices dropped around here on Friday night, down to 186.9 for petrol. 3p drop now feels like a bargain

That's the problem... If it drops to around £1.7x then people will think it's a great deal when it really isn't.

Even in the 1.70s it's still too high.

Their online page hasnt been updated for a week or so, unleaded is 177. i filled up last wednesday at this price.

Chester is showing 172.9 for regular but 189.9 for super. That doesn't feel like the usual delta between the two! Liverpool is showing 180.7/189.9 which is more of a realistic delta, even if it is a relative ripoff for regular...

Costco Edinburgh is currently 180.9 for E10, 186.9 for Premium and 189.9 for premium Diesel.
I think next time Costco comes round out work I might sign up again. I'll need tyres soon as Costco prices look really good too.

 

[Doobedoo]

184.9 for petrol
195.9 for diesel in sainsburys no reduction for me.

 

[Shadowness]

193.9 for unleaded near Cheltenham.
Dirty diesel is 199.9

I normally fill up with V-Power. I daren't look at the price!

 

[ChrisD.]

193.9 for unleaded near Cheltenham.

It's a good 5-10p cheaper at Tesco in Brockworth.

I use 99 in my M3, significantly cheaper than V Power.

 

[Tinders]

Costco brum down to 175 now. The total station in wolverhampton was 172.6 this morning. Heading in the right direction is seems. Still a long way to go.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

Having not filled up with petrol for a while I was a bit shocked at it costing £66 for half a tank abs 1.94 ish for super.

 

[Uther]

194.9 for diesel in Morrisons Leamington Spa earlier. For a second I thought 'Woo hoo!' then I thought 'oh'.

 

[Freakbro]

Down to 179.9 for E10 at a local shell today

 

[chroniclard]

because you bought from BP. Can't comment about the rest of the country but at least in Central Scotland and Edinburgh BP is always, without fail, 3-4ppl more than other stations.

Sainsburys Super 'down' to £1.92.9.
