Heard on the news earlier that diesel in watford has got to £1 59.9p a litre
With the planned 3p increase in jan that takes it to £1.63 a litre
Unfuckin real, when will it stop?

 

no idea mate i am a mobile mechanic and the fuel costs are starting to cripple me i did nearly 100 quid last week and thats without using the car or recovery truck!

 

Dont think it will stop

 

In Blackpool its still only 136.9

 

its beyond a joke the fuel pricing, as its simply the goverments greed as the poor sods that run the petrol stations and the suppliers get less than half what the goverment rips us off for, we pay for road tax, insurance, Mots and vat on every single thing we buy or spend on our cars, and our roads are in shit condition we are simply the goverments bitch and treated as mugs by them, no wonder fuel theft has gone up by 30%

 

£1.60 ? Who in their right mind would pay that when the going rate is £1.40 ? Which station in Watford is this exactly ?

 

I was at watford tesco this morning and it was normal pricing ,so interested to know this myself

 

im from watford just filled up at a shell garage it was 137.4 a litre (diesel)

 

Dunno where it was, just heard it on the radio this mornin

 

to take light from some of the other threads, what station was it Facebook FM pmsl.

But seriously, I agree, if the Govt don't put a cap on it soon, as said above, back will come a massive incease in fuel thefts of all types, and more haulage businesses going under, more prices going up due to it etc etc.

When will the mong brained politicians realise it's a vicious circle of their own creation............coooonts.!!!!

 

Radio 1xtra around 12ish

 

wonder where in watford this was? filled car up last night and unleaded was 129.9 not sure on diesel.

Its only going one way and that up!

Heard on five live earlier that pertrol stations make less that 5p per litre so goverment are taking all of it!

 

i use http://www.petrolprices.com/ to find the cheapest prices in stoke-on-trent.

im sure you can use them all over the uk.

 

I was thinking that the sad part is were getting conditioned to think that's cheap especially when we read it's £1.59.9 somewhere else

 

bio fuel is the way forward - at this rate, i will be buying another cheap diesel and run it on 100% bio and all completely legal too

 

Very true fella.

 

Most likely if anything at a rip off chancer motorway service station no way would that kind of price be found in town.

 

Watford is a town mate. I'd love to know which station it is, as I bet it's quiet !

 

wouldnt surprise me if its a small convenience station.

even in cheap stoke where its 128.9 petrol, petrol at the small asian run convenience rip off places will be listed 137.9 or more.


Fuel pricing is only going to go up.

current revenue is approx £26 billion per year. Im sure it could be got from elsewhere.

£26 billion is NOT that much in the big scheme of things. eg NHS = £100 billion a year etc

Id suggest bump alcohol and cigarette tax up massively as its a non essential luxury so people can either pay up or go without. Cut more benefits, cut speed camera funding etc and controvertially how about cut some aid money to look after ourselves.

 

i work in watford and there is certainly not any garage that sells diesel at that price

the pricing is the same as most places or often better by 2p a litre compared to where i actually live.

but don't worry guys the high prices is saving the planet and not paying off bankers mistakes honest

 

run it on red simple as that

 

Not by the M25 is it? Clacket Lane on the south of the 25 isn't far from that price now!

 

breaking the law en-masse just doesnt work. You do that and they will just withdraw red diesel meaning farmers will suffer, food prices will go up more etc etc etc.

The only solution is getting the government on side and that wont happen until the cost of fuel seriously hurts the country as a whole. Until fuel costs cause enough people to quit work, enough business' to go under and food/daily costs to rise to a point where fuel costs alone cause a recession, then the government dont need to do a thing as they can just sit back and count the revenue.

 

Totally agree on bumping it up on Cigarettes and Alcohol.
People will ALWAYS find money for a pint.
While I was working in a pub I accidently slipped that view up to the pubs local alcoholic, I thought he was going to kill me.
Currently working ~50mile from home. I can't change my car because insurance prices are rediculous.
I spend ~£15-£20 a day getting back and fore work. My pay is usually £195 a week after tax. I put £50 a week into a savings account, I pay £25 a week lodge leaving me £120. Most my wage goes on petrol. I've gone from having £50 a week spending money in a part time job while I was in college to a full time job, spending 2 hours a day driving and still only have £50 a week spending money. I'd be better off on the dole!

 

when everyone cant work is when it will stop but even then i would be suprised,they probably let a few million of us starve 1st the fucking idiots,this is why i want out just need convince the missus.

 

where will you go kosman??? the rest of europe isnt much better. the US is going to have major snags soon with fuel pricing. So where will you go??

 

E85 is around .99 to 106p per liter and you get more power, why is it not in the pumps?

 

is that including fuel duty and VAT??

if so youll probably find some profit margin reason not to supply it. Plus all the manufacturers would have to re-map thier cars.

 

it was the price i was getting it delivered for about two months ago, was going to get a load and supply it as an alternative to the shell racing fuel everyone uses for rallying (which is getting on 4 quid a liter)

 

Saw this in another thread on here



Mental

 

That can't be for real surely? Photoshopped? That's a very very old sign with 4 star leaded petrol still on it. Where is the garage in question?

 

well i imagine that is the most quiet petrol station around, with prices like that!

 

Think i know that garage in london.

 

I filled up this morning 136.7.

 

probably around the same time you realize that they don't give a fuck about you or me

 

It's not photoshopped mate as I took the picture last Friday in Kensington Chelsea, the station is just around the corner from Olympia

 

im thankfull that my mate is a wagon driver who doesnt mind siphoning his truck everynight lol i pay 80p a litre
