I’m guessing they only focus on London for News items. They’ve been up and down over and under £1.80 a litre for diesel in Greater Manchester area for months. Currently at £1.81 at one place I’ve seen today. The highest I’ve seen was £1.83 a few weeks ago. Prices started to drop a couple of weeks ago but they seem to be sneaking back up again.
Saw 1.80 for petrol and 1.87 for diesel not more than a couple of hours ago.
Insane.
Total failure of government, Johnson must resign.
Safe to say the 5p/l duty cut did absolutely fuck all to the price at the pump.
Everytime I top up the work 4×4 I thank my lucky stars that works paying. Yikes.
Pricing the poor off the roads
I was going to post up today about petrol prices.
The local petrol stations round here were 164.9 at the weekend, this morning they were all 170.9, this afternoon they were 167.9, never seen change as quick as this before.
I just bought a deisel car last week to replace my petrol. Fml.
This is the price in towns and cities, imagine the price of fuel in the motorway services.
I’ve already paid £2.01 about a month ago during one of the shortages. I was desperate and had to pay.
No need for windfall tax this would discourage investment in the UK.
According to “Tories for hire anonymous”.
Buy diesel now
Store it for 10 years
Sell it for £3 a litre
???
Profit
Ridiculous £70a week? insane& the cunts don’t want us to ask for a payrise
At least you can realistically opt out of fuel costs, unlike standing charges for gas/electric.
Same cost for 2 litres of milk
I saw 1.97 in North Somerset yesterday.
A colleague who lives a bit further away from us in Cirencester told us she saw a £1.91 the other day. What the fuck man. All of us WTFed at that, even me who doesn’t have a fucking car!

Diesel was at 1.99 in Broxburn outside Edinburgh in April. [https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/west-lothian-petrol-station-reduce-26442727](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/local-news/west-lothian-petrol-station-reduce-26442727)

Edit- back to 169.9 this morning
FYI this is an issue with refineries, not crude oil producers. Russia was source of a lot of diesel, more than they were source of crude oil. Now that’s gone there’s a [global diesel shortage](https://www.vortexa.com/insight/can-asias-spare-refining-capacity-relieve-the-global-diesel-shortage)
£1.69 Costco for Diesel
