Re: Fuel Prices
We don't have any shortage of fuel here (Romania) so I'm trying to understand the situation. While the high price definitely does not help, I think almost all the petrol is locally refined from the locally extracted oil. We do import a lot of diesel and we still have a lot of diesel cars so ... that.

Re: Fuel Prices
Surely at these sort of prices, individuals must be reducing their demand for the stuff, by consciously cutting back on the miles they do.
I need to put another 5 litres in the Micra, just to have it ready for its van-like activities round the doors, but keep putting off parting with £10 to top it up. Indeed seriously thinking about SORNing it when the MOT runs out next month.

Re: Fuel Prices
BP in Lower Early just charged me £1.918 per litre of diesel. Out and about today I saw it for £2.049 in Henley on Thames! Mind you, the motorway service stations will add a bit onto that.

Re: Fuel Prices
The traffic down here is quieter than usual for the time of year so maybe the price is biting.

Re: Fuel Prices
With the petrol prices going up and people not using thier cars as much should have an effect on its availability and possibly keep the price down - for a bit.
However, it's not the same when it comes to diesel, industry mainly use this stuff so a regular supply is needed - at any cost, hence the gap between petrol and diesel prices - it's about 10p a litre at the moment and will get more, - I remember when diesel was cheaper!

Re: Fuel Prices
Heating oil is up to over a pound a litre now, that means £2000 to fill my tank up - which I shan't be doing at that price.
