Price of diesel

[PhilOfCas]

i really did think the rises had halted (for now), anyway, a penny went on overnight at my local Shell, now 130.9, this morning 46.63ltr for £61.04
(47.47ltr cost me £46.00 May 2007 )

i fill when i need to which is at redlight
can't see point of topping up all the time, when you see cheap as this is similar in action to panic buying.
if you always do this, then cool, but why now just to save what 10p?

 

[PhilOfCas]

yep, full empty full empty full empty, that's me, why fart about with a tenner/twenty here n there

i read a crappy article on the bbc website, called "hypermiling". they had some bollocks about removing seats for weight, but a decent bit of advice was only filling half up, because half a tank weighs less than a full tank....

But if you're doing 5-600 miles a week, that means filling up every 3 or 4 days which is a right pain in the arse...

Shell diesel's been 132.9 round here for over a week.

V-power petrol is not far behind at 126.9

Seems to be sticking for the moment. Has been £1.33 at my local morrisons for 3-4 days now.

Its almost £1.40 up here in the North for diesel!!!!

 

[oldman]

that can't be true FReidboy, it's supposed to be cheaper to live up north!!!!

but your not wrong, i noticed this last week and thought, bugger me

 

[diss_50]

im 128.9 in Elderslie Shell - seems to be the cheapest around Renfrewshire by far - others hovering around the 130.9 - 132.9 mark. Although they are holding that value

i've just started mixing Veg oil in mine!! it's at 1.17 a litre, i know it's not as cheap as it used to be but it's at least 15p/litre cheaper than diesel!!

I've only added 4 litres to 20 of diesel as a test on a long run and had no probs (so far!!)

as long as its a non PD you will be fine, I am running 50/50 mix in both cars

Well its up to over £1.30 litre! This is getting stupid! Travelling to europe the fuel prices are not that much different, but Germany has the best I have seen in my last few travels, our Government should take a leaf out of their books, lower tax on diesel than on petrol, they are supposed to be encouraging better fuel, COME ON... LOWER TAX ON DIESEL!

stupid amounts on diesel and all for only 45mpg and 475 a tank, not happy at all. especially when i look at each tankful on own it is 48mpg and 550 - should have got an r

 

[volvic]
