Thank God they took that 5p off. Made all the difference
They went up 20p a litre over the last 2 weeks.
They almost certainly will.
As a British person I will exercise my right to whinge to my family about price increases and then bend over and take the price increase anyway.
I was in Spain last week. Diesel was cheaper than petrol and was retailing for €1.83 (£1.56).
Given that, I’m not sure Russia turning the taps off can’t 100% explain how expensive it is in the UK .
it will be. No question in my mind.
Apparently half of car journeys are under 2 miles. I’m guilty of it myself.
Perhaps people should change how they use their cars if they can, and start walking more.
. I always wonder how the people that always struggled to get their mates to pay for petrol are doing. My friends were notoriously bad for thinking fuel was free and it stung back then even at £1 a litre. I wonder how many arguments will be caused when it’s £2
The issue here is that there ain’t much of a plan to deal with it at all. After a few things happen there will be a collective shrug of the shoulders from the tories and a statement that we all must deal with it because life ain’t fair or some other platitude. However they are under no illusion that if it don’t change for the better and soon then people going into the next election in 2024 will be quite happy to vote them out. And as for having short memories that really only works if there is enough time between disaster and recovery. They way it’s going it’s going to get worse for more people
I travel about 25 miles a day for work, so honestly this is getting pretty concerning now.
You’d think with situations like this our government would start investing heavily into public transport. Get less cars on the road and get people using public transport for those smaller journeys.
Will. Will hit £2 a litre. They’re already at about 1.80-1.90
‘could’
Hello from London
My local Tesco has just increased petrol by 8p from 173.9 to 181.9 and diesel by the same to 190.9. How can it go up so much in one day? The price of oil is not even as high as what it was back in March.
They will now that the media just gave them permission to by setting everyone’s expectations.
But Rishi gave us 5p off!!
This is why we need to stop the fucking propoganda that office workers need to be back on site and that remote working is lazy.
If I was forced to pay these prices to get to a job that I could do from my livingroom I’d be pissed.
Part of my feels petrol needs to be expensive to limit usage, but not like this with zero alternatives for most people
Short sighted Government as usual
Unless we all stop using it .which realistically isn’t gonna happen .so maybe if we all a oiled certain brands and just went to the other one.. see if the impacted company starts a price war
I remember the shock of it hitting 50p a litre.
Aviation fuel is already at £2.10
I remember it hitting £1/litre. It crept up slowly 99.7, 99.8, 99.9 but it jumped a few extra pence pretty quickly after the psychological £1.00 barrier was passed.
Comments like “it’ll drop soon, you can’t run an economy on a pound a litre, think of the impact on food deliveries etc” were hilariously inaccurate.
Was in Cornwall this week and passed a garage near Falmouth (Texaco?) where it was already £1.97 a litre.
no one mentioning the record breaking profits the oil companies posting this year?

Too late. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/petrol-hits-2-litre-wales-24161468
Disgusting. Greed.
Already has at PontAbraham Services.
Shouldn’t that be £9 a gallon?
