It's Your Round Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The three main supermarket petrol stations near me are all out of fuel. People have been filling up to beat the price hikes, can’t say I blame anyone for doing that really. The soaring costs of energy are going to hurt a lot of people.

It’s 1p more for diesel that the 3 chain petrol stations by me. Fortunately Tescos is a slightly more sensible £1:54.9 That’s a 64p per gallon difference between 4 garages and 3 of them are within a mile of each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Announcement by who? The government? I don’t imagine that’s remotely true to be honest. Why would they hold a press conference just to say “Suck it up!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we’ll see countries in Europe doing something really sensible and helpful for their citizens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw it at £1.68 in Sandwell on Friday and £1.82 at Knutsford services. I drive around now to supermarkets where you can still find it at £1.50 ish. Even the muti billion pound company I work for has said take all meetings through zoom now whenever possible cut the drving down. These fuel companies disgust Me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just needs the Daily Mail to do that. Run a few articles about fuel shortages and it will be carnage again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjw63 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Car has been off the road for two weeks for maintenance so haven't put fuel in for a while. Had to drive back from Nottingham Saturday so need to put a bit in hoping I can get some at Tesco on Stratford Road. Went to my local fuel place on the A5 where they have so kindly increased diesel from 1.50 or so to 1.65. Dick Turpin would have been proud.

mikeyp102 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I’ve not been going into the office so not filled up for a while, but am starting going back in now. I visited my parents on Thursday, and was down to my last 30 miles in the tank. Their local garage was charging £1.68 for diesel, Frankley services which I drive past on the way was £1.64. Luckily Tesco was a bit cheaper. But this getting ridiculous. I can see cars being ciphered soon by unscrupulous people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MakemineVanilla Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 With the next General Election being on 2nd May 2024, the campaigne may turn out to be a bidding war, as to which party offers the biggest subsidy or tax-cut on the price of energy? What with high inflation and falling living-standards, it looks like both the major parties look likely to have to make a few u-turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just filled the car up. That is a difference of nearly 64p a Gallon. All efectively on the same main road (apart from the BP which is just off it) all in a three mile stretch It's weird that Tesco get their petrol from Esso and then undercut Esso at the pumps.

bickster Posted March 7, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 7, 2022 There's only one way to describe the current prices trends and that's the chain Petrol Stations are profiteering from the war The supermarket prices have not moved anywhere near as much 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
