Fuel prices in Supermarkets

That's dirt cheap Andy! :o

I filled up on Sunday at Tesco with Momentum at £1.709n litre, E10 was £1.639 - still they were both 4p a litre cheaper than the week before.

I did notice the "Pay-at-Pump" authorisation limit had gone up to £120, but with the miserly tanks in Z4s that's irrelevant!

It is Iain :D E10 was £1.53. The local Tesco/Esso is £1.59 and £1.71 for E10 they two stations are normally within a penny of each other for E5 anyway.

That's fecking cheap! (Well it's not exactly cheap, it's bloody expensive, but relatively speaking to what it has been).
Supermarkets are still £1.65 where I am!

I read the bottom line of that sign as "cafe/cat food" first off..... :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

That is cheap. We have an independent garage nearby that is ALWAYS a lot cheaper than anywhere else. They were 148.9p for unleaded at the weekend.

Funny, this Indy is always 1-2p dearer than Tesco at the other side of town. Today it’s 12p a litre cheaper. Tesco will drop 3-4p with this latest price drop.

I’m hoping heating oil is going to follow suit :thumbsup:
 
Local indie is 147.9 while Tesco is 148.9 and Sainsburys is 153.9

Normally the indie 6 to 7 ppl more but guess they are buying less whereas the supermarket are hedging so paying more and it takes a while for it to drop.
 
There is a lot of money being made & we all know who's making it .
Im in Lancs where standard unleaded is around £1.60 & diesel £1.80 , its barely fluctuated for 6 or 8 weeks & makes little difference between supermarket or independents barring a couple of pence but i am in mid Wales once a week with work & staggers me to see prices there £1.40 unleaded / £1.60 diesel :? this is in rural Snowdonia too so its not like its easier to deliver to .
The whole motoring enterprise from ved to pump is a scam , ripped off at every opportunity .https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/fuel-news/competition-watchdog-finds-that-2022-most-volatile-year-on-record/

Totally agree. :thumbsup:
As far as I can see, this year with big companies, smaller companies and everyone in between 'profiteering' on energy, oil, wheat; you name it is adding to the 'cost of living crisis', so fuelling inflation and making millions of people very poor. And they couldn't give a sh*t as long as they make as much money as they can get away with.
There is absolutely no social or moral responsibility when it comes to 'business'. There never really was, admittedly, but at present we are all in a financial mess and I would expect (maybe naively) business to cut back on the 'greed' just a tad to help the wider economy and all of us individually.

The Government's answer is to come up with 'windfall taxes' which don't really help us as individuals, just go into a bottomless pit of Government funds for them to waste on stupid sh*t.

Even my feckin accountants are at it! Got my bill for yearly accounts and tax return last week. 18% higher than last year, on average for the same work. I can't increase my invoicing rates by 18% overnight; I would lose all my customers and be out of business!!

The whole fiasco at the moment fecks me off, as you can probably tell.

I thought the CMA were looking at the petrol prices and profiteering?

Like OFGEM kept on top of utility companies ? for a supposed leading democratic country of civilised nations there is a whole lot of wrongs going unchecked .
 
Couldn’t agree more but little mere mortals like us can do about it.

It’s enough to drive you to drink.

Noticed a drop locally (lancs) recently, supermarkets now 1.50 and diesel 1.72. A station I pass on the way to work was 1.55 petrol and 1.85 diesel this morning, never seen as much as a 30p difference before. Tesco 99 still 1.65 though, was 7p more a litre a week ago now 15p according to PetrolPrices.com website

Apparently we rely on diesel from Russia, but not for petrol. What a load of bollox. I always thought diesel and petrol were made of the same stuff; million year old rotten trees. Only Russia has rotten trees suitable to make diesel, does it? :roll:
Diesel is vastly less 'refined' than petrol so costs less to produce. Markets and 'people' taking their cut (our Gov head of that queue).

The cost of a litre of petrol in the Maldives is 85p.
How does that work, they have to import everything.

Probably the same as the cost of petrol here. Excep that the government adds about the same again in tax.
