My local garage in the village charges 110p for diesel, terrible! It is about 101.9 though if i were to go into town. I avoid the local garage like a virus!

i love the fact that sainsburys has petrol at 99.9 and derv is 100.9!! god i love getting twice the mpg for pretty much the same price
The price of petrol always goes up this time of year, and will then dip again during the winter.
Works for me and cashing in my BP shares though, haha

The 3-months and one-year charts here may help you see the underlying price trends.

Petrol prices go up a bit in summer as more people go holidays and diesel prices go down as there is a lower competition/demand for heating oil.
Also the oil price is creeping backup again, $52pbl to $72pbl in the last 3 months.
Still, the oil companies do try to even the price fluctuations so pump prices reflect a 6-12monthly rolling average.
Oil was v-expensive 6-9 months ago (3 x what it is now) but the fuel only went up 25-50%.
Its gone back down, but prices stay higher at the pumps to claw back the loss during high prices time.
Where the big pump price hikes come in is if the price of oil doesn't fall then they need to raise the prices sharply to catch up again.
Can be fun to get your head around the logic but its there - i hate to admit it tho, its easier to hate the fuel prices!

btw - tesco in Aberdeen are a con - so what you get double clubcard points - the fuel is 2p/L more then BP and 3p/L more than shell! - Why are there ques at the pumps (crazy people)!!?? Go to shell or BP instead!
ps. forgot to say - bit rubbish that diesel fuel duty is 5p/L more than Petrol!!

i paid 1.08 for ULMATE in Orsett, just down the road from BP where i work. Its getting expensive again, haha.
I don't know what their excuses are this time but the price of crude has increased from $55 a barrell just over a month ago to just over $70 now.
Still this does not explain issues considering at the height last year $140 a barrell it was £1.30 a litre
There are just too many factors that can be blamed and they can just charge us what they want.

I think BP try and screw their own staff, there is a BP filling station next to the main BP offices in Aberdeen and its the most expensive one in the whole city by 1-2p/L!
I hope their staff goes to shell or asda nearby!
Yep BP are w*ankers for screwing us.
Even if we get a staff ''advantage card'' we only get 1p off a litre of UL and 2p off of ULTIMATE

To explain it simply the majority of what you pay at the pump is tax. This is why the price only went up 30 cent when oil prices were high and have only come down by 30p even though oil is half the price.
last year = 140 a barrel - 1.30 a liter = 80p tax + 50p price
this year = 70 a barrel - 1.00 a liter = 65p tax + 35p price
not exact figures but you get what i mean?
