Fuel prices (10 Viewers)

Costco was 1.84 for diesel this morning. Tesco is still at 1.99.

I know it's membership only but its that the only reason is so much cheaper?

For £25 a year if it's going to stay like this is worth the membership alone (before the cafe food).

It was more than that last week so hopefully it's a sign that might come down a bit.

Soda? Fucking SODA!

What the fuck is soda?

 

[jordan210]

Soda? Fucking SODA!

What the fuck is soda?

Well its a fizzy drink. Normally from the Pepsi range. But as they are an American Company they call it hot dog and soda

Costco is 1.75 at tile hill , and tesco is 1.86 at cannon Park..


Either way fuel prices are still way way too high and the profiteering we are seeing is outrageous

 

[Nick]

Shit, it's gone down then!

Best fill up tomorrow if it's £1.75.

 

[Marty]

It's been 1.75 at costco for about a week now. It's generally pritty good for stuff and we'll worth the £32 a year membership.

Soda is fizzy water.
I found out the hard way in Morrisons cafe when I was a boy.
Hated Americanisms ever since.

Yes, but then using that logic shouldn't we all be peed off with "hot dog" too?

Why would "soda" pee us off, but "hot dog" not?

 

[Sick Boy]

Omg, you’re just like so totally right.

What’s the British name for a hot dog?

It's 1.84 for diesel still?

Thought 1.74 was too good

You are right I misread its 1.75 for petrol not diesel

That's 11 p cheaper than tesco for petrol anyway

 

[wingy]

Still the differential between the two is better than approaching 20p which it was a few weeks back bizzarely.
Would it be down to scarcity or which is more predominant?

Yeah it is worth it as it's much cheaper, I got excited when you said 1.75 ha

Tax I think. Diesel is now the evil polluter after all, after years of being the cleaner way to run a car(!)

Peed???? Wtf is peed??? Surely you meant pissed! (Sorry for calling you Surely)

Yeah, few years ago it was "everybody should get a diesel".

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Went to North Wales last week and turned off A5 towards Bala and first village petrol was £1.85. On way back it was £1.79.
I almost thought it was cheap.

That's the problem , it will go back down to about 1.70 and everybody will think its amazing .. weird how we get conditioned

Yeah I was out running this morning and saw diesel at €1.75 and thought it was a bargain.

 

[clint van damme]

Had to fill up on the M5 last night, 2.09, ouch!

 

[Alan Dugdales Moustache]

Spot on. And they know it, hence it'll never drop by much. It doesn't seem 5 mins ago it hit £1.40 and I thought it was ridiculous.

 

[Tommo1993]

Costco down at £1.73 and diesel I think was £1.82.

Remember spitting feathers at £1.20?

I remember a big news story when it broke £1 for the first time. And I’m not that old (I don’t think).

Gone are the days when I was driving RS Turbos around spitting flames out the back when I took my foot off the accelerator.

Literally burning £10 notes now.

how much was it when we had the fuel protests back in 2000, 80p? What's the after you adjust it for inflation, I'm guessing about £1.40.

 

[Tommo1993]

I remember a big news story when it broke £1 for the first time. And I’m not that old (I don’t think).

I passed in 2011 and I think back then it was around £1.20-£1.30. I know it’s been lower than that between now and then

 

[Nick]

How much does it cost to charge a Tesla?

I really wouldn't mind one, if they weren't stupidly fucking expensive.
