Petrol and diesel prices - how much have you been paying?

[Jamesrob637]

Petrol and diesel prices are just creeping back up. Hopefully only extremely slowly though.

 

[92002]

BP at Gatwick Airport is 147.9 for petrol and I am quite surprised that isn't around 170 also!

Greater Glasgow from 1.399 to 141.9 for standard unleaded

 

[75A]

Just paid £1.45 for diesel in Newcastle ( County Down)

 

[SteveM70]

135.4 for unleaded in Keighley today

 

[m79900]

In Wirksworth its 139.9 for unleaded and 144.9 for diesel. It was higher in Matlock, about 143 for unleaded, I think.

 

[SteveP29]

Passed the Shell garage that I take my prices from in this thread for the first time in a while yesterday.
Unleaded: 1.46.9
Diesel: 1.55.9

 

[GRALISTAIR]

Gone up here. Now $3-00 per US Gallon (3.784 litres)

 

[bspahh]

Gone up here. Now $3-00 per US Gallon (3.784 litres)

That is 63.1p/litre

 

[GRALISTAIR]

That is 63.1p/litre

Trust me - Americans still bitch about it. The weather and the price of gas - always the two main topics of conversation here!

 

[gswindale]

That is 63.1p/litre

I was looking at car hire for Canada the other day. The car I was looking at was a Toyota RAV4 which over here has a quoted economy figure of 53mpg. On the Hertz website, it was listed as about 25mpg!

So whilst the fuel might be cheaper stateside, your going to need a lot more of it to travel the same distance.

1. UK gallons are about 20% larger than US gallons.
2. The different countries have different testing regimes that emphasise different things. ie are those numbers for urban, extra-urban, combined?

If it really is the same car, it's going to get pretty similar real-world fuel consumption regardless of location.

Also in a car market where new cars pay more tax if they have high fuel consumption, its worthwhile for the manufacturer to fit expensive tyres, with low rolling resistance, particularly if it gets into a lower tax bands (and also engineer the engine management to work well in the test conditions).

In a market where the retail price is everything, then its an incentive to fit cheap parts, even if it means that the quoted fuel consumption is worse.

Krept and Konan up again here - a little concerning. Barely any diesel under 150p per litre now, even at supermarkets.

 

[75A]

Diesel £144.9 here yesterday.

 

[david1212]

Morrison's near work now up to 143.7p/litre for E10 unleaded and 150.7p/litre for Diesel. Esso only 1p more for E10 unleaded but 3p more for diesel.

 

[richw]

Diesel £144.9 here yesterday.

Where’s here? It appears very expensive as you’ve put a £ instead of pence. I assume that’s an error on your part

Here in Plymouth I don’t think diesel has dropped under 150 for months.
I paid 151.9 this morning which is cheapest about Plymouth that I’ve seen

 

[75A]

Clough (County Down), sorry
144.9

 

[david1212]

Tesco near home marginally cheaper than Morrisons near work for E10 unleaded @ 142.9p/litre but dearer for diesel @ 151.9p/litre.
E5 premium unleaded is 149.9p/litre.

Too much traffic to glance at the local BP.

 

[jon81uk]

Costco Stevenage was £1.37.9 for unleaded, but of course need to be a member.

Fuel in Plymouth is always dearer than the cheaper sites where I live in Stockport (mum's in Plymstock). House prices are cheap for Southern England standards though.

I live in Liskeard, work in Plymouth. Plymouth is 5p a litre cheaper than Liskeard

Tesco & Sainsbury's in Dunstable were 140.9p per litre yesterday. Tesco in Watford was 142.9p (all for unleaded).

 

[Mcr Warrior]

Tesco in Watford was 142.9p (all for unleaded).

Same or similar in South / East Manchester. Unleaded at 142.7p per litre at Asda sites and 142.9p per litre at Sainsbury's. Diesel currently about 7.0p per litre more expensive. Bigger differential at BP filling stations.

 

[Sun Chariot]

Hampshire-Sussex coast - last week diesel crept back up, a few pence over 150p/litre; so I was pleased that Sainsbury's Waterlooville has priced its B7 diesel at 149.9p/litre today.

 

[Spamcan81]

Best I've found locally for diesel in the past couple of days is 151.9 a litre at Texaco/ASDA express on the A1 at Sandy roundabout

 

[75A]

Just paid 148.9 for Diesel in Ardglass, Petrol was 143.9.
