RogerH Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Hi Folks, I have just paid £1.73.9 / Litre for Shell VPower This near Wimbourne in Dorset. That is the most I have ever paid - Ouch. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobH Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 I'm afraid we just have to get used to it Roger - I think the price is only going one way from now on, and it will go much further than that pretty soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PodOne Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 (edited) I'm not seeing the government reducing the % of fuel duty anytime soon I wonder why as usual "let's keep robbing Joe public" while using the usual excuse of market forces. They seem to forget that governments past of both persuasions sold off the family silver of North Sea oil and gas to the highest bidder when if they had used common sense we could have been totally self sufficient for years to come and isolated from world affairs. IMO criminal short sightedness. My fear now is hyper inflation as people suffer the consequences of increased fuel and heating costs which could by next winter see people literally freezing to death along with our own democracy if the general population are riled up enough to take action empty bellies and hardship will do the rest. To hell with global warming and the 1% of emissions we contribute and lets begin again to mine coal and use if we must carbon capture to mitigate while building a range of regional nuclear plants as developed by Rolls Royce. I see Germany is to increase call production. I have sympathy for those in Ukraine at the the mercy of the Russian mad man but I think we are in danger here domestically if we continue to ignore ordinary peoples predicament especially those on fixed incomes already on the edge. Anyone for a World War III I doubt it. Andy Edited March 4, 2022 by PodOne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chris172 Posted March 4, 2022 Report Share Posted March 4, 2022 Definitely heavily loaded with tax in the UK... I just paid £1.089 in Gibraltar today. Spain inland though is €1.599 which equates to £1.34, not sure what it is on the coast though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Derek Hi Derek, I am not a 'poor' southerner. I am retired so I am rich beyond the dreams of Creosote ( than you Terry P) As for Southerner - my Genes are from Preston, Lancashire and my other jeans are from Costco. I think my £1.73.9 beats your absolute bargain price. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saffrontr Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 It certainly beats it Roger, I guess you could also say some of my genes are also from Preston, having lived in Chorley for thirty plus years until retirement beckoned a few years back. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dave-lewis Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 Hi all, Just filled the tank up on the Seat Alhambra. Cheap Diesel 64.38 litres @ €1.499 ltr cost €96.51 When is it going to stop rising!! Kind Regards, Dave from Spain Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Cobbold Posted March 5, 2022 Report Share Posted March 5, 2022 The bigger problem is gas not oil. Next winter will probably bring natural gas prices hiked even more than now (to keep Germany from freezing). That is going to be the big challenge. Even if Putrid were to stop his war now he has lost the trust the democratic world, and we will be seeking to keep Russia sanctioned until we see real regime change and him and cronies in The Hague. And that means not buying their gas. Worse than gas is the likely reduction of global wheat production, by ca 20%. Poor nations are going to starve. Maybe if Russia can be converted to a stable democracy some good can come of this war for the west and for those poor Russians subjugated by yet another tyrant.

On top of the extra cost of getting to work you may have to start paying over £400 per year just to park your car in the company car park if you live in Scotland. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-47089134 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
