bickster Posted March 12, 2022 Moderator Share Posted March 12, 2022 Evening update. The Tesco has gone up this evening to £1:64.9 The other three have remained the same but 4 miles down the same road from the Tesco is a different Shell Eurogarge. It’s usually about 1 p more than the others and tonight it is… £1:32 per gallon more expensive than the Tesco. One pound thirty f***ing two a gallon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risso Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 The price of heating oil at the moment is astronomical. No surprise I guess, but it was c.55p a litre in December. Now it's about £1.50. The differential between it and a litre of petrol or diesel seems to have disappeared. During the first lockdown it was about 22p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly less now now it's a bit warmer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magnkarl Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Been in touch with an energy tech today to try to get some sort of energy bank added to our solar setup. In reality he says he could probably get me a second hand electric car battery (40kw\h), but would need to jump through many hoops with local fire\health restrictions. Why is it so god damn hard to try to be green in this country?! I want the set up before summer so I can fill up my own batteries with my own panels, and then sell any surplus to the system. In winter I want to fill these batteries at night or at off peak times when the electric is cheaper. It seems the system doesn't like my plans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 I thought fuel prices had topped out and would drop? Just seen 180.9 at Sainsburys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 (edited) Just got an email from Octopus Energy, they ‘recommend’ that I increase my direct debit to £357 per month. Which is £160 more! I expected it to go up, but that seems mental. Edit: that’s until April 2023, then it’s reduced to £342 after that. So it seems they’re predicting prices to stay high for the foreseeable. Edited March 18, 2022 by It's Your Round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
