Some people will be driving up north to fill up!

I may be guilty of doing that this week

How terribly uncivilised!

Most fuel stations / garages in and around my area, are only allowing £35 for now so picked up £30 in the Fl2 and £5 worth for my FBH that runs my radiator in the shed.

My local forecourt was busy for a few days but all settled down now hardly any queues anytime I pass looks like business as usual however the price has rose sharply in the past 10 days going up by 11p per litre.

That is due to the strength of the US$ against Sterling. Also due to Russia restricting supplies and the Gulf/Arab states not upping their output as they previously did. No UK govt. will take any action as it means a higher tax take and ensuring the peasants become poorer!

Picked that up from the E&S. We're driving over next week for a couple of days so topped the car up just in case, no queues over here but a couple of the diesel pumps were dry.

Concerns me how far these people will go. There's also a bunch letting 4x4 car tyres down.

Diesel seems to be public enemy number 1 these days, New local authority campaign to celebrate "the end of diesel" was launched last week

Oh er Missus! Campaign to refuse parking permits for diesel cars

"Campaigners and councillors attended the launch of a new campaign celebrating the ‘End of Diesel’, with six billboards across London calling on councillors to ensure their boroughs are diesel free by 2030 or sooner."

"Oliver Lord, UK Head of the Clean Cities Campaign, added: ‘The end of the road for diesel cars is truly in sight. But we will get there much quicker, and save thousands more lives if we give these polluting vehicles a final push into the scrapyard. Councils have the chance to change behaviour. We want all parties to commit to ending car parking permits for new diesel cars by next year and commit to going totally diesel free by 2030. This would be another important milestone on the journey to cleaner air, tackling the climate crisis and ending our reliance on Russian oil.’" https://airqualitynews.com/2022/03/31/c ... phase-out/
