Price of diesel

[StuPDi]

why is texaco more expensive than anything else??

this morning:
texaco, 128.9
esso, 123.9
total 122.9
tesco 123.9
shell 122.9

dont really pay much attention to petrol prices, however i have noticed the gap between petrol and diesel is increasing

Same here in West Sussex. Texaco is consistently 3-4p more expensive for normal stuff! Gap for Derv/Petrol has been 11p for a while now.

Texaco also put their prices up on a friday afternoon as well.....

saw it is 120.9 in shrewsbury tesco and 119.9 in the morrisons and bp.
need serious talk with gf as making harder to see her. though it is her fault for living 140miles away...

[edit]
would be nice when people say it is 123.9 or xxx.9
where they lived, as i see a few of these and it means feck all in general.
no location, may as well be 999.9
rant done, thank you

[s3tony]

was reading the paper this morning, a texaco garage in chelsea is 149.9!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
last week i filled up at 118.9, diesel has more than doubled in the last 8-9 years most of that in the last couple.
an absolute outrage i tell you.....

Wouldn't you just hate to own a mapped LCR right now

Tell me about it!

Ive fitted new iridium plugs recently which seem to have helped and I'm trying to drive more carefully on longer journeys, my typical tank has gone from 300-320miles to 350-370miles. I'd be pleased if I could get 400 from it.

But seriously guys, if you have diesels are you not looking into vegetable oil etc? I know I would be in your shoes

What really bugs me is when the price of oil goes down we never see it at the pumps, it keeps getting nudged up and that's where it stays regardless, yet when the oil price goes up we see the increase instantly at the pumps. Really cheeses me off.

The esso garrage near mine has gone up to 129.9 now and if you go 4 miles down the road to morrisons it is 120.9. Bloody rediculous1

and you live where exactly?
location is a help.
tells people where is good and bad to purchase if travelling through.
petrolprices.com is also useful

Surely this is the way forward:

veg oil is fine in the non PDs but people with the PDs are warey of it.

there has been various threads and chats about bio-fuel for diesel, but i'm still a bit dubious

would consider LPG conversion but don't know if you can with a diesel

only matter of time before they tax that and it's the same price anyway!!!

LPG goes up to normal fuel prices at the end of the year

Wow, just started browsing the forums properly this week as the hunt for a mk1 Leon FR+ is on... Just spent the best part o this afternoon reading through this whole thread and currently driving an S4 (290 from a tank ON A GOOD WEEK!) i cant wait to hit 550 miles from one tank!!!! my monthly fuel bill is about the £300-£350 !!

That said, the whole petrol/Diesel price situation is getting beyond ridiculous. Nathanio, i'm jjust down the road from you in Worthing and those prices you're paying are Crazy!! the Shell East Field in Littlehampton is currently 120.9 if you're ever that far over this way?

 

[Nathanio]

I live right near it

I usually fill up in Fontwell or Farlington (Pompey) as I work in Havant.

I don't envy you keeping an S4 running
