loaf Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Hmm, I guess I'll have to work 7p per litre harder.. or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheesemonster2005 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Chaps, Fill your vehicles. I have been informed quite reliably that fuel will increase by at least 7p per litre on Sunday or Monday. Those using diesel could face a bigger hike. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, fill 'em up! The best way to make the prices get even higher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you suggest that no-one drives from here on in ? Will that keep the price down ? OK everyone - do not drive a vehicle until the price drops again. Geez.......some people.....

Tempus Fugit Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I suppose we'll all have to ask for a pay rise to compensate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I have been told that Total are putting the price of Diesel up to £1.05 on Monday morning Can't wait to see how it is going to effect heating fuel prices this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Drift.com Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 What's the point in filling up, next week you'll end up paying the new price anyroad Mission, get a pushy dude I can't understand why there aren't hundreds of scooters whizzing around the roads as these do about 100mpg Steam, that's the answer, or hydrogen (but don't the petrol companies own all the patents for that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 Dunno about 7p per litre but I read that it'd probably go up 11p a gallon because of the hurricane thing. Even if it does I'd rather be paying more for my petrol than be in the position of the unfortunate people that have been more directly affected by it.

Cret Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 I can't understand why there aren't hundreds of scooters whizzing around the roads as these do about 100mpg <{POST_SNAPBACK}> There are. It seems when people reache 16 these days they seem to get one of these for their birthday and take to the roads instantly, complete with a voucher that entitles them to use them dangerously.

Mission Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 RC I have a pushbike, just rarely use it. I do, on occasion walk to and from work, I'm just struggling to make it a daily thing. I filled the car up tonight, £40 (not totally empty but not far off it). Super unleaded was 98.9p per litre. Taking the van later on this morning, will check the price of diesel. Will have to remember to check the price next time I fill them both up. The car isn't an issue really as it does little mileage but the van does a lot of mileage and that could impact quite a bit. As someone else said earlier, it will be interesting to see if this affects domestic heating oil too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband says the forward price curve is scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Doesn't look great for the past either if you look at how much it's gone up over the years.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul H Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 Recently I have tried using Total ‘excellium’ fuel to test their claims that it improves your fuel consumption. Over three tanks full I have so far managed to see an increase in average fuel consumption of nearly 10%! Combine this with the higher price for ‘excellium’ and it looks like a complete rip off. Has anyone else tried it yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 At Total in Laxey the price for regular unleaded has gone up to 102.9 Apparently most garages are trying to keep it as low as they can for as long as possible until they have to refill the tanks, so it'll be 95.9 while stocks last!
