Fuel price discussion thread (was ‘chaos’)

How long is petrol going to remain at these prices - with the opec+ output reduction I keep doing a double take it has not shot up,
knowing I will regret not having filled the tank up in advance of the increase.
Local delinquents have none the less accepted current price as the new normal and any sense of moderating use of the accelerator on a popular section of country NSL is gone.

Was £1.619/l for Momentum on Thursday.
Such a price disparity shouldn't really happen unless either one station is privately owned or one station is price gouging.

Yes I noticed this today, a massive difference now.
i assumed it would be like every "catastrophe"-related rise; the price bombs up say 10p, then when things calm down and resolve the price goes down maybe 3 ~ 5p, because they can sly in a bit more profit and everyone's so sick of the +10p they feel they're getting a bargain at +5p.
was about 151.9 [IIRC] before this kicked up, i doubt i'll see that again.
Any idea what is causing such a large deviation?

This was last week, I filled up with normal (not BP Ultimate) diesel. Was somewhere near Somerset from what I remember.
Disgusting.

Was this a motorway service station? And do you pay for your own fuel? I’m guessing you must have been running on fumes too?This was last week, I filled up with normal (not BP Ultimate) diesel. Was somewhere near Somerset from what I remember.

I don't ever fill up at motorways, and try my best to never use BP wherever they are due the gouging they engage in.This was last week, I filled up with normal (not BP Ultimate) diesel. Was somewhere near Somerset from what I remember.

Every BP I pass is at least 3p more than everywhere else locally. I haven’t bought BP fuel for years and years.
Diesel has stayed at around £1.82 here for ages now. I drove over to Ireland and Northern Ireland last week and was surprised to see that diesel was noticeably cheaper than here - even many of the BP garages I saw were somewhere around £1.76 a litre and that was around the outskirts of Belfast too.
Luckily I ended up filling up somewhere outside of Dublin at what I thought was a ridiculous €1.96 a litre but that works out to about £1.71 a litre, so even with currency fees it's still cheaper than filling up around here.

Yes it was a no, I have a company car and credit card but that prices regardless of who is paying is ridiculous. Tank is 50 litres so probably had some left in the pipes.

I see UL is back on the way up, my tesco has put standard UL up by 3p in a week to 160.9, after taking months to drop to 157.9, it stayed at that low level for 2-3 weeks.
Costco brum, has put UL upto 147.9 now. Looks like a winter of discontent, oddly enough, price of a barrel is still fairly low
