Given it's a time of political turmoil...

Just noticed that Unleaded breached 90p per litre here. Any similar horror
stories?

And if my Ambi is seen at the front of a slow moving convoy down a motorway
it's probably not voluntary

Is that a money grabbing conglomorate like BP, or is it an independent?
Round 'ere, the independents tend to charge about 3-4p more than the
nationals, and they're teetering at 89.9p...

Funny enough yes it's BP. on a519 next to Junct 15 M6. I only paid
particular attention as they were having the forecourt ripped up last week
and I was living in hope they may be having LPG installed to save me treking
across the city.

's much the same here. diesel's over 90, unleaded might be 89.9, but I've
not looked.

LPG 39.9 still at the local garage.

On the upside, Tesco own brand vegetable oil down to 44p a litre in 3
l bottles, that 10p less than the same stuff from Sainsbury.

Fopping heck, it's leapt up then 87.9 the last lot I bought (Tesco,
Carlisle, 2 weeks ago). Mind you I'm not surprised crude is now more
per barrel than it was last Oct/Nov.

I don't look at the two local garages, they are generally 5 to 10p
more than a normal station or supermarket. No competition, only fuel
within about 20 miles...

Just don't look at the prices in the far North West of Scotland, then -
Scourie/Kinlochbervie for example.

During the peak of about four years ago I was paying around 98p/litre
for unleaded. It'll be up at those levels again I imagine.

although the component in the price for the actual crude oil is tiny.

when you consider that about 50ppl is tax, the remaining 40p covers
retailer's profit, refinery costs and refiner's profit, shipping costs,
extraction costs...

and only the last bit is directly related to the crude price, I expect.
Maybe the crude price is as delivered to the refinery, not ex-wellhead, I
dunno...

Around 19p/l a litre at the begining of the month. Brent Crude @
$57/barrel, $1.90/£ (todays rate, gosh getting such that a trip to the
US is a nice cheap one), 159/l barrel. Brent Crude is now down at
$50/barrel or 16.5p/l (ish).

So we have for:

Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel: 90 - 19 - 47.1 = 23.9p/l
Ordinary Diesel: 90 - 19 - 53.27 = 17.73p/l

For all the other "costs". Not sure if you can get ordinary diesel
these days and if you can is it the same price as ULSD?

Crude is a "commodity", it's price is far more influenced by how the
markets and the futures market envisage demand, supply and the world
situation (is the US going to beat up another Middle East country?)
than boring things like how much is costs to extract.

I'm not sure why the price is so high ATM. I know late last year it
was down to the Iraq war and hurricanes reducing production in the
Gulf of Mexico and demand getting very close to the (artifical) supply
limit.
