Fuel..how high will it go?

Post by mr.tourette » Sun Mar 06, 2022 5:46 pm

A big jump this weekend..been watching it creep ever higher a penny or two every few days but just gone to fill up and after seeing a high at my local of 157.9 for deisel on Friday I was a bit surprised to see 170.9 today :o super unleaded for the zed would have stung me for 184.9 :thumbsdown: Do we think we'll be seeing a 200p litre over the coming months...the wifes 1.2td corsa is starting to look like a sensible option :lol:
if its got tits or tyres..its trouble :D

That's a lot :o. Just filled up with super for £159.9 at our local Tesco. Coop and Texico all seem around the same. Regular is £151.9.

No idea on diesel never owned a tractor. :wink:

Super is 180 for me, diesel is 165. It’ll be 200 before the end of April. Madness.

I filled the G29 up late last night after being out all day. Regular 145.9p and diesel 149.9p Can’t remember premium price.

Just driven past the petrol station 15 minutes ago, Regular 156.9p and diesel 165.9p wasn’t in the petrol station so didn’t see the price of premium, WTAF!!!! Don’t think I’ve ever seen an overnight increase like that. We’ve been casually keeping an eye of fuel in France for the Pyrenees trip. It topped €2 a litre at least 6/8 weeks ago :thumbsdown:

    Id get out and fill up now at that price..I think once the stations tanks are refilled you'll be seeing a substantial increase

    It's not looking good. :(

    My Tesco has gone from £1.489 to £1.519 to £1.549 for regular in the space of a week so Momentum is probably £.1619 a litre now.

    Luckily I filled my 3 Series with Momentum before the last increase at £1.589 a litre, but after an outing this morning my Z4 is down to about half a tank - which doesn't go too far!

    But if that's the only price we have to pay for current events I'll just count myself lucky.
    Coupes because stunning!
    Current - Silver Grey MC, Imola Red heated Nappa & carbon trim. Aeros, H & R Coil-overs, 224s, OE Strut brace, Nav, cup-holders, DSP Hi-Fi, pdc, cruise, MFSW, no CDV! E90 330i daily
    Gone - Montego Blue
    Gone - Ruby Black

    One thing that can be guaranteed is that once the crude oil prices drop, which they will, is that the forecourt price will not drop with any pace. The argument is the fuel they sell now was bought X number of weeks ago when the oil price why higher hence no price drop. Funny that they increase forecourt price thought the moment crude rises....... :roll:
