The price of diesel has reached £127.9 again in the Borders and it has hit £130.9 just 4 miles down the road in Melrose
When will this end

When the current Government collapses and fuel costs become a major election issue for the next lot.

I find it somewhat Prestigious to have these elite Higher Fuel prices...it lets the rest of the World know that we brits are the world leaders in something...even if its only the top of the world Fuel Pricing charts....Thank god for Gordy Smith and all who sink with him.

When Mr GBC beds Mr TF.

The problem is one of supply and demand I am reliably informed by people in the petrol retail business that £1.50 a litre for diesel is less than 12 months away but petrol will NOT rise above £1.25 a litre because hardly anyone is buying petrol cars these days in the mistaken belief that diesels are cheaper to run and there is spare petrol refining capacity but they CANNOT produce enough diesel in this country and must import it from elsewhere

Well that's a comforting thought . . ..

£118.9 - £119.9 is about average in Edinburgh


You need to become a cowboy and leave all those sheep alone. It's less expensive to live up here in cattle country.

What with all that spare capacity

FFS 2 bloody rises in a day its now £128.9 and £115.9 for unleaded

Apparantly he only goes for Englishmen from the South Coast.

12 months? That far away?

I reckon it'll reach that by the summer, then drop back a bit . . . well according to Ray Holloway it will.

Not too sure a petrol car is cheaper to run than a diesel, even with that difference in fuel price.

Well there is somthing strange going on at my local shell station, they had a delivey yesterday morning and put the price up from 125.9 to 127.9, then in the afternoon they put it up to 128.9, and today without reciving another delivery up it went to 130.9

£5.89 a gallon

The thing is that Petrol versions of the same car are cheaper to buy, whether new or used.

A few thousand pounds saved on the purchase price gives a canny "bank of funds" to draw upon to make the actual running costs comparible.

TF pi$$ed on his chips.

I wouldn't argue there GA. Lots more low mileage petrol motors around as well.
