Car Forum / Land Rover Cars / October 2004Diesel Fuel prices
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.  Signature- Thank You John N Oakes Manchester, England. ============================= ! doyeneatzetnetdotcodotuk ! ! Landrover 90 2286cc 1984 ! !

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. ! David LLAMA 4x4 www.llama4x4.co.uk 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.

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. Derry (40 miles north of Inverness) Nah, A record is ?1.03 per litre in Durness in the summer. I was staggered. Only petrol station for 40 miles.

I paid 95p a litre at Salen on Mull in mid-August. It must be over ?1 now. Cheers Andrew Kay 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). >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.

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. > Same in Australia - there was a time it was half the price of petrol - > now [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >> !

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.
