My local Tesco is currently charging 130.9 (Worksop, North Notts)
Is it that steep everywhere?
I have literally no idea. At a guess somewhere between 1.25/l and 1.35/l. I only really use the car for commuting, only pass one petrol station on the way home so just fill it up until it clunks full when it is nearly empty every couple of weeks, and pay whatever it costs by card. Usually around £65-75.
My parents who are retired will go out of their way for cheaper fuel , but life is too short to be chasing savings of a few pence per tank.
I think this is like one of the "how much does a pint of milk cost?" questions that MPs get asked to make them look out of touch with the electorate, everyone likes to laugh at the silly response but most people don't know the cost either .
Paid £1.43/litre for shell v-power diesel last Saturday (dumfries],
1.22 here (Galashiels)
Downside of a huge tank is £100+ to fill up, always makes me baulk slightly as I hand the card over. Upside of a huge tank is I haven't actually filled up since March, getting a bit low just now and it will get used a lot more over the summer
Costco was still below £1.20 for diesel last week- for members obviously. But the benefit for anyone else is that the Tesco across the roads has dropped its price to (almost) match...... so find a supermarket near a Costco.
Meanwhile the services on the M1 were wanting £1.50
Presumably this is a price we're paying for a small proportion of Americans electing a man-baby.
Just past the local garage.
£1.33.9 here for Diesel
126.9 here in Dunfermline tesco.
I’ve only filled up twice this year, due to breaking my leg in December, but i go back to work in two weeks, so that will be hard on the wallet eh.
Sainsburys in Leicester was 120.9 this evening
Morrisons in Boroughbridge, £129.9. Morrisons in Starbeck 9 miles away, £124.9.
It's hovering around £1.30 Peterborough way, with a bit of variation obviously depending if you fill up at Shell or Morrisons.
70p for a litre in Tesco. 80p in Sainsburys. Helps if your car runs on cooking oil 🙂
Shocking innit..
Whats the reason?
£1.22 here in Cheshire for Diesel.
The reason is Trump getting stroppy with Iran and the cost of a barrel of oil sky rocketing as a result.
£1.32 here. Every surrounding town has a Tesco and Asda etc so they all have it 10p a litre cheaper. Competition.
I've stopped filling by looking at the price now and instead buy in in litres. As in "put 10 litres in" as opposed to "put £10 in"
As Olly says, It's competition. Harrogate has a Sainsbury's, an Asda & a Morrisons. Theyre always between 4-6p a litre cheaper than the Esso's & BP in the area, whereas Morrisons near us with no competition are usually 4-6p more.
126.7 at Asda in Harworth.
It's probably the extra money the tanker driver wants for having to go to Worksop!

So, as typical, he's getting involved with something that doesn't affect him in the slightest yet affects Bn's of people all over the planet..
Arse.
Time to put the landy back on veg oil for the summer I think.
I can't really get stroppy over it. Rising barrel price means we might get some modicum of safety and sensibility back at work - as well as retaining my job.
Converts to 1.04 GBP for supermarket diesel in San Sebastián. Will be driving to UK in the summer so I'll have to fill up some jerry cans looking at those prices.
I paid 1.30Eur at the weekend which is quite high for Germany in recent times (petrol is 1.50Eur atm). Though the prices change hourly here which does my nut. It has happened to me that I have filled up the car only to find that the price has dropped after I have paid and I could have saved myself ten euros by being a minute slower to the pumps.
Was 130.9 in the Esso near us yesterday. 131.9 this morning.
Geopolitical instability, innit.
Oil Prices have spiked to $70 a barrel, which has given us £1.30 a litre.
But, I think there's a element of profiteering going on.
2008 when it reached $91 a barrel, the fuel cost then was the same, £1.30 a litre.
<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;">2013 when it spiked again to $91, again, it reached £1.30 a litre. </span>
Duty as risen a bit over the last 10 years, but only 5p per litre, on the face of it, we shouldn't be this high.
I get the impression that customers will accept £1.30-£1.40 a litre before we complain too much, so they're quick to jump the price up in the face of rising crude costs and make a bit of extra profit at the start of the arch.
I filled up this morning, at Asda in Chandlers Ford. 126.7 for diesel.
but life is too short to be chasing savings of a few pence per tank.
The difference between the Cheapest and Most expensive in my area would have been somewhere in the region of £1300 per year in my last job.
Life’s not too short for that.
That little? No doubt they'll complain but I doubt enough to actually use significantly less of itI get the impression that customers will accept £1.30-£1.40 a litre before we complain too much
70p for a litre in Tesco. 80p in Sainsburys. Helps if your car runs on cooking oil
So do you just go in store and fill your trolley up with 5l bottle of cooking oil?
Is the MPG equivalent to diesel?

Pretty much. Rarely make a special trip, just as part of a normal shop. Don't do very many miles anyway
Is the MPG equivalent to diesel?
As far as I can tell. I am not an mpg nerd but it seems to do about the same range on a tank.
That little? No doubt they’ll complain but I doubt enough to actually use significantly less of it
Perhaps, people do tend to start looking at their MPG readouts rather than driving less, not to mention that back in 2008 when we at £1.30 a litre, 35mpg for a petrol and 40mpg for a diesel was considered pretty frugal for a family car. It's more like 45 and 55 now.
Paid 1.32 yesterday. Isle of Man. Noticed it had gone up by 3p this morning though.
Reading an article and there is all possibility of it heading back to the previous record highs of 2012...
"Reading an article and there is all possibility of it heading back to the previous record highs of 2012…"
indeed but in the trade I've been hearing that on a bi monthly cycle for the last 3 years
now its shifted to *UKCS to hire 40000 offshore workers* which of course when you read it contains the words *may* and *possibly require* and *over next 10 years*
Markets high...
It's up despite increased production due to the fact trump is an idiot
~£1.30 here in W Yorks but I saw diesel for £1.48 at an A1M services on Monday
Around £1.26 in South Cheshire at the moment but I was in Dukinfield yesterday and the ASDA there was doing it for £1.21.
120.9 when I filled up the other day at Sainsbury's in Tamworth the other night - it seems to have shot up pretty quickly and the cap between diesel and petrol has widened again.
Time for a cut in both the Tax & VAT on it then.
It was £1.38 at a Texaco in Coleford, FOD, this morning. £1.22 at ASDA in Hereford. ASDA, Tesco, Sainsburys all within a mile of each other means a price war.
i find it odd that the UK generally has higher prices for diesel than petrol.
prices in Italy are crazy. always have been, but more so last week. whilst in Finale the cheapest i managed was 1.48€. for "service" (i guy fills the car for you) was 1.89€...!
Austria was 1.20€ last week.
no idea what a litre of diesel costs in Germany. not had to fill up for over a year! that's less to do with my excessive usage of two wheeled transport...
1.30 a litre in Blackburn for diesel at Shell. It is cheaper at Asda but shell is closer. Missus puts £90 in her Vauxhall Insignia, lasts all month for work and random trips to Ikea warrington and the lakes.
Costs more to run my motorbike, £30 a week just doing the 32 mile there and back to work.

That garage is always 6p or so higher than others in FoD, eg Cinderford, Lydney. Only garage in town so seem to get away with it. 1.29.9 -1.30.9 elsewhere in FoD at the moment.
117.9 at Sainsbury's in Yeadon (Leeds)
Just gone up to 118.4 at Morrisons in Guiseley - just up the road from the Sainsbury's in Yeadon in StuE's post. Having the two in competition really keeps the price down!
