Fuel price discussion thread (was ‘chaos’)

[Rroff]

I noticed on the way home from work yesterday most places are now £1.5+, I'd been holding off filling up a bit in the hope it would drop off a little now school is back.

 

[kona786]

Filled up with momentum today.
156.9p
Grrr. 74 quid.

I love how every few months the petrol stations can just collectively decide to start ripping everyone off again and nobody can do anything about it

They see the government and they're like cool we'll do it too.

They see the price of crude increase so use it as an excuse to profiteer while they can

£1.40 now at Costco

Local Tesco is £1.49

Be prepared for some big increases by the end of the year:

Looks like Russia, backed by Saudi Arabia, are creating their own sanctions on the West probably in retaliation for sanctions on Russia.... Will countries crack and start buying Russian oil again?

 

[Gaygle]

I believe I read that relations between Saudi and the US have soured in the last couple of years because SA wanted to buy some sort of military hardware from the USA and basically got refused - hence now they're punishing the West trying to force them into it by smashing oil prices up.

I can't wait for the energy market to be taken out of the hands of these individuals/countries

 

[jpaul]

Hopefully we are giving the surplus military hardware to Ukraine instead; a few new UK drilling licenses don't look so bad, but, that timescale, is probably off.

It will increase the attraction of going electric though, unless they hike Kwh prices in sympathy.

 

[Tinders]

Nothing new, Opec+ has been looking after itself for a long while. Its what big players do, and we would be no different if we were in their position.

One of the big reasons we have been pushing hard to go greener is so that we can remove power from the oil regions.

Exactly !
I wonder if the Anti-EV groups realise what they are supporting ?!

My fortnightly fill up last week of bog standard petrol wentt over £100. First time in months its been three figures again

 

[Yaayuh!]

I paid 161.9p for Momentum last night.

162.9 for Momentum at the same Tesco.

Need to fill up tomorrow so was looking around on petrolprices.com and turns out this is the cheapest in a wide area for super unleaded...

Back to over 160 now for diesel. Quietly creeping up without too much of a fuss from anyone at the minute.

The 130s, 140s didnt last long, I think I got 2 tanks at that price whenever it was a few month back.

 

[Buckster]

If the government were to do another discount like they did before (but more this time) would it help the inflation figures ?

Sort of thing that wouldn't surprise me but don't know if would have an effect or not

Don’t think it’s been down into 140s by me since the prices went up a year+ ago.

 

[tsobo]

It keeps going up and down like a yoyi. Hopefully we can ellect a proper government soon, to sort this mess out!
