some fuckwit fucks up and we have to pay more for our fuel?
wtf?

 

I noticed that over the weekend..........shell optimax was 90.9 its now 92.9

 

it should go down to encourage more buying!! especially tesco!!

 

i waited till i had 24 miles to go before i put any in, should have put it in earlier as it cost me 90.9 for regular

just because tesco's and morrisons have to pay more for their fuel because it's their fault loads of cars went and craocked it why shuold they pass the cost onto us? they should be digging into their billions tosort the problems out

every little helps, like fuck it does

 

Because the price of things in a very competitive market is dictated by the cost to the supplier and the minimum markup they can make in order to turn a reasonable profit.

They have just had to buy stocks at higher prices so they have to sell them at a higher price too.

 

As Chip said, basic economics. Distruption to supply, so will lead to rise in fuel prices. Hopefully only for a short while though.

 

One garage i saw went up 3p in an hour!

 

You answered your own question

You sat and watched it for an hour?

Everyone needs a hobby but that's a bit sad.

 

ha ha!

 

i understand that chip, BUT if you were to be running a petrol consortium and your feul got messed up this way, how is it fair to fuck everyone over to cover your back just because your problems are going to lose you a few quid?

and why has EVERYONE decided to jump abord this "oh no, fuel is screwed, it's going to cost us more, lets put the prices up anyway even thoguh we dont need to" bandwagon?

tesco and morrisons stop selling fuel until they can get decent stuff in again
everyone else shouldn't be made to put u their prices should they

what happens to al this dodgey fuel in the mean time? it's not as if you can sell it, you can't tip it down the toilet, you can't keep it securly in the cupbaord under the stairs, soemones got to accept responsibility and, as ususal, no one does and it us motorists who get bent over a barrel and rogered sensless

yet again

 

Q the pikeys knocking on my door,

" eer' mate wanna buy some unleaded? "

" only 50p a littre like "

" we'll put it in your car for you! "

 

The dodgy fuel is going to be burnt.

It's the oil producers in the middle east that control the oil price by not putting enough on the market, It's nothing to do with the petrol producers or retailers.

.

 

Do you think businesses profits and loss should be dictated by fairness and not market forces? LOL

Tesco didnt fuck up, they just bought fuel in like normal, the fuel was faulty so they essentially will no doubt of "sent it back under warranty" and then had to buy some more, and they had to buy it quickly from a market with restricted supply, therefore the price went up, so therefore they are having to sell it for more.

 

i expect itll never drop again all a fucking great con.
the fuel is ordered and produced weeks in advance so there should be enough readily available
something needs to give in the country instead of the poor old motorists

 

No no Chip, Tesco etc has to do everyone a favour

 

lets all boycott the affected supermarkets

 

Ah silly me, I see what you mean.

Tesco gets fucked over with some shite petrol.
Then tesco gets fucked over by the bad publicity.
As a result tesco gets fucked over by less sales making it harder to stay in the black

and the response should be "run all your petrol stations at a loss till you go out of business"

I see, i think im fetting this fairytale economics now

 

Its called being a businessman.

2 main competitors fuck up, you whack your prices up as no-one will dare use the shitty fuel..

Common sense really.

 

 

Which is why I filled up on Saturday

Doesn't make much difference @ 17mpg though

 

it's all very well ramping up the prices, but eventually the consumer is going to pay the price
just because you have a captive market doens't mean you should be screwing your customers over should you

lets go back to the scenario where it's a small business who have got some dodgey fuel in, you can't expect them to ramp up the prices and the local comunity pay the extra cost for it, they'd soon go out of business
with companies like tesco's who make billions upon billions, they could have kept prices low and been made out to be the good guys in this fiasco rather than branded with the same "you are all greedy robbing bastards" brush

yes i'm having a bit of a bitch and moan, but soething should hav ebeen done about it when it first cropped up, as ususal, tony is sitting on his arse telling us how gratefull we should be about accepting his road charging system

 

Dojj, so you think Tesco should completely ignore their responsibilities to their share holders and lose money just to help you out?

 

What did you expect?

 

dojj

im with you exactly on what you said
all seems a farce and i wouldnt expect anything less from this dump of a country

 

not in the slightest, i don't even shop there let alone buy their fuel

 

and thats the bottom line here,we are so used to getting shafted like an arrow we just lie down and don't even cause a fuss
i wonder how many people will actually bother to get the compo for their cars from the like sof tesco's and co?
all the while they are getting richer and richer and we just sit here and suffer in the silence

the government won't do anything because they hate the motorist just as much as everyone else does, yet we put more into the economy than anyone else and less than 20% of what we DO put in is actually invested in anything like the road infrustructure and we STILL don't do anything baout it

yes, lets spend all the money that we should be using filing in the potholes paying for people to be let out of big medical contracts and then blame everyone other than ourselves for the mess the nhs is in
lets spend all this money recruting the right amount of lesbian coppers just so we can say "look at us, we can fit in" rather than actually putting people away by proper coppering
let the schoolkids run roit because we are too limp wristed as a country to actually say "oi you like cunt, stop fucking about or i'll give you a hiding"

the list goes on and on, but the root cause is us motorists, we are melting the ice caps and killing harmless poalr bears, we are digging up the countryside to put more roads in, we are pumping millons upon mimllions of gallons of muck into the air rather than the areoplanes that polute more than any car will itn it's lifetime (perhaps some cossies will but they won't be running long enough )

who cares how many cars there are on the road, there could be 50 million, but there are only 22 millons drivers who can actually drive so how are they going to be causing more and more traffic and more and more polution?
