I thought Diesel was going to be cheaper side of fuel prices.
Each week I call into my local Petrol station and I notice the
price of Diesel up a penny now 83.9p per litre. Anyone else have
similar hikes.

Yep, same around here (Belgium). They're paying up to 55 USD for a
barrel on the exchange now. In the meantime, those idiots have
stockpiled oil tankers full of the stuff, at prices WAY over the top,
and now they can't afford prices going down again, so they invent the
silliest reasons why oil must be that expensive. And we're buying it.

We are now up to 88.9p / litre in Mid Wales.... I still travel back to the
Midlands quite often for work / friends and it is still cheaper there.

No matter how much a barrel of crude costs you cannot get away from the
fact that 80% (ish ) ofthe cost of fuel in Britain is going straight to the
Govt. !

86.9 and rising, watch the price of Crude .... $ 60 a barrel ..... bet it
goes even higher. Fuel/ Government rip off. Use AA petrolbuster, it helps a
bit by trying to give the cheapest fuel in your area. (UK)

I think I saw it at around 96p a litre at Ardgay, Easter Ross.
Is that a record? Cheapest around here is Safeways, Alness,
around the mid eighties.

Nah, A record is £1.03 per litre in Durness in the summer. I was
staggered. Only petrol station for 40 miles.

Probably not. I paid 95p a litre at Salen on Mull in mid-August. It must
be over £1 now.

Same in Australia - there was a time it was half the price of petrol - now
it's the same or more (around $1 a litre).

Is looks like the government are pushing LPG, so at a mere (check
spelling) £1500 for the conversion and the loss of boot space, that you
would think is the way forward. (NOT), once they have enought converts
they will up the price of pumped LPG.

They did that with diesel, so I'm sure the idea hasn't escaped them. I
don't think enough people have converted yet for it to be a runner as far as
the Treasury are concerned. Give it a year or two, though...

What annoys me is that diesel is far cheaper to refine than petrol. Even if
the govt charged the same duty rate, it should be miles cheaper than
unleaded.
