Local to me in Oswestry yesterday diesel was 1.98 still !
Drive to Bolton and it was 1.82
£1.63 for Petrol and £1.83 for diesel at Trago Mills Newton Abott yesterday on way home from Cornwall.
Must have been 50+ vehicles queueing down the road for it too, so carried on towards Torbay and went in the Harvest Garage at Kingskerswell. No one in there.
Same price for Petrol and 4p litre more for Diesel. I took the £2.80 hit to fill up in peace 😉

i bet some of those then only put £10 or £20 in too. People are strange.
Did a 200-odd mile trip today to Heathrow and Salisbury then back home to Chippenham, and I didn’t see any filling stations that were as cheap as the two in Melksham, most were roughly 183.9 to 189.9, or thereabouts.
Saw diesel at 1.83.7 at Asda in Glasshoughton, Castleford today.
Petrol was 1.70 something...
Tesco had their diesel down to 183.9 near me yesterday.
Still eye wateringly expensive as I remember my shock back in March when it passed 150p.
It should be coming down more, they just need the stock to wash through
175.9 at Asda Hulme Manchester for petrol.
169.9 at tesco
It should be coming down more,
they just need the stock to wash throughbut people are still queueing up to buy it at the higher price
Fixed
Some garages 199.9 in Salisbury this morning. Just passed a Tesco in Poole, 188.9
Oddly, seems a bargain!
169.9 Petrol Sainsbury Wakefield
ASDA in Warrington, E10 at 174.4
It's pretty ridiculous when I considered 188.9 a litre for diesel at Sainsbury's in Swindon a bargain. I put £50 in which gave me one litre more than if I'd bought at 195.9 closer to home.
BP sees profits soar…
Yeah, it is.
Whilst slightly obscene, your local BP petrol station has about as much to do with BP Plc on the news, as the guy pulling his Blur out of his T6 has to Santa Cruz LLC (they've both bought a product from a big company). BP don't even have a refinery in the UK anymore.
Why has OPEC not been blamed here? Surely they have been controlling prices as usual?
I know this thread is car fuels but I just did my meter readings (Octopus) and checked my balance. They have a newish feature that uses your monthly payments and historic usages to predict how your balance will evolve as you use more in the winter. At present it's on a flat basis of the current tariff, but they now have a 'crystal ball' mode where they predict based on new price cap estimates.
****, is all I can say.
