Fuel price discussion thread (was ‘chaos’)

I only drive an older ford focus 1.6 and the change from E5 to E10 has taken away about 40 miles I range for me so I think the extra cost of the premium fuels is gonna be a hit I will have to take. I've also noted the car feels a little down on power also so hopefully going back to E5 should help that.
99 momentum now at 153.9p. First time ever (at least since I started recording in Jan 2013) had to fill up at above 150p. Massive psychological barrier. Esso 99 at 159.9p.
E10 fuel at 146.9p. Diesel also the same price which I don't ever remember seeing.

Oil price has dropped significantly over the last 3 weeks, almost US$10/barrel.
However typically we continue to see the same rocket rise, parachute fall in pump prices.
A couple of years ago we saw PPB at over US$100 but pump prices didn't go over 130p/l
Highest PPB in last 2 months has been US$81.
Other costs like transportation have increased this time as well. Brent crude peaked just over $86 as well not $81.
Depends on the garage really, many wont have had new deliveries yet. Supermarkets are usually first to lower.

filled up last week at 164.9 for shell vpower, eeek. My local garage has always had vpower 20p a litre more for as long as I can remember.
yes - maybe that - shortage of hgv drivers , is still playing heavily into the price,
is the salary still better as a John Lewis/Waitrose who were reputed to have bought up the market.
Let's say petrol prices reach 200p, will people still drive as much? I don't think they have much choice.
The pandemic has resulted in a lot of coordinated (not deliberately) price increases in many markets. I wouldn't be surprised if inflation remains high for a couple of years.
In Germany it will hit 6% and the Bundesbank is regarded as a strict central bank.

their excels don't seem to want to load, but would show if fuel sale volume is down over past week, ie. people already travelling less,
no signs of people relenting on the hard accelerations on local NSL road sections.

Like you say what choice will people have? Inflation in general is going to eat away at peoples disposable income for years now and it could hurt economic growth for a long time.
None of my driving is for pleasure so it's not really a choice for me, it would reduce the amount of miles I burn through on my bike for fun in the summer though.

My local tesco is out of diesel again today for some reason so they've closed the garage for the day (the lady couldn't explain it to me as she couldn't really understand why they were told to shut even though plenty of Momentum 99 there that I needed).
I had to relent today and top up with some normal BP E10 petrol that was bad enough at 149.9 but the BP ultimate was at 163.9. I don't drive for pleasure it's a necessity because of my location in the country side with no public transport links to the nearest town or railway station. here's hoping prices will normalise at some point soon.
