Diesel Price
Filled up at Asda yesterday after coming back from Chester. While away, diesel price seen on the A41 at £1.399. An unknown company it was. Price at Asda was £1.477 a litre. Is there a price war starting out?

Ahhh, I'm hazarding a guess you drove past the Essar garage just outside Whitchurch.
There always cheap on their fuel by a long mile and often the cars are queuing to get in. I filled up there on Thursday @£1.39 for diesel. Another 75 (burgundy colour) went past to which we exchanged waves. I don't understand how petrol stations can sell diesel for £1.52 in Oswestry whilst a few miles down the road it can be sold for £1.39. There's some serious profiteering going on amongst them

BP by me is now £1.55p last week it was £1.59 they taking the micky out of the public and it's being allowed i have boycotted BP & Esso since the pandemic started, i can get my diesel a mile from my home for £1.49 still to high i would say. It should be made law that all prices must be the same at any garage no matter what the price is, and if barrel of oil drops it must be passed onto the public at once not weeks later, but having said that the GOV want the prices high so we all drop our diesel cars of at the scrap yards.

It's a commodity you can't get elsewhere eg Amazon, ebay, mate down the pub - this is why it is taxed so heavily.
Once upon a time the supermarkets used to steady the ship with price wars but since covid they have just joined in the racketeering. |

I walked past my local filling station last night and noted the prices. Then checked my Costco app where diesel was 9p per litre cheaper and petrol 5p per litre cheaper.

I may sound a little melodramatic but since I filled my car up with the cheap diesel I've noticed it sounds very agricultural.
It's that bad I dropped some redex into it this morning and it now sounds more refined again. Talking to a delivery driver today who lives in the area of the cheap fuel garage,he said he's avoids going there because it also makes his car sound like a tractor too.
