Fuel prices

[Polarbear]

What's it like in your area?

Diesel here in MK has finally dropped below £1.50 a litre to £1.47'9. It's been down below that price for a few weeks in Aylesbury and a few outlying areas but it seems the supermarkets in MK like their pound of flesh.

The stupid thing is after being about 20p cheaper, unleaded is only about 3p cheaper at the moment at £1.45. WTF?

I think about 1.40 vs 1.45 (petrol vs diesel) round my way. You can check here:

Paid £1.65 a litre to fill my bike up yesterday. BP garage, Super Unleaded. Had to buy there as I had a
flashing fuel light and don't know the bike well enough to know how many miles there are left once it starts blinking.

I track oil using this app.

I work for one of the oil companies ARAMCO (probably the biggest of the bastirts). Them and other bastirts made billinns last year. ARAMCO exceeded $650m. (As you'd imagine, most of that was passed on to us as incentives and bonuses. )

The cannot get their grabbers on more drilling rigs fast enough.
One of the biggest oil field equipment OEM National Oil Varco (NOV) are building 2 rigs per year in Saudi for our drilling fleet. We are not scrapping the equipment we have.

Around the Gezga area we are being pumped at the rate of:
ASDA £1.447
ESSO £1.499


I fire ASDAtTesco in the Diesel car.
The bikes get pampered with Big Brand 97 Octopuses though.
Because a Knock Sensor isn't there for nothing.

One mist always remember, petrol stations don't make money selling petrol. (More lies than a Scottish political party.)

They must just be convenience stores that sell petrol then.

The base price of oil is around what it is now. $60-70 per BBLS (1 bbls =159 litres)

(Road) diesel on fuel card is about 107p+VAT (=128p) - so anyone charging much more than 130p is adding quite a lot on as they shouldn't be paying more than keyfuels.

Shell had a whole floor for their legal department in Shell Centre when I was there. I suppose they can be used those for tax avoidence schemes when they aren't involved in fcuking over the odd country or legally bribing heads of state.

That's very interesting.

Don't get me wrong a Tesla is a very nice car and I'd definitely have one if I could justify it but I could see the cost per mile skyrocketing once the ICE sales have been stomped on in 2030.

I did notice a sudden influx (no pun) of toy cars (those ones that run on batteries)in Glasgow when I was in town last week.

I probably got skunked for £60 on the new LEZ too.
It's such a great incentive for me to replace my perfectly working car for a newer one.
Fucking Scotch Tomatoes we have in parliament in Scotland.
