Anyone any idea why the price of fuel has gone back up by 10 pence a litre in the last 10 days????

Other than the fact that all Petro-Chemicals companies and HMRC are greedy Bar stewards, No!

It's the hidden 5p price increase by the Government the one from the 1st of April and the one from the 1st of August 2012. Osbourne said he wasn't going to increase duty but we all know he's a lying bastard of cornucopia proportions.

daughter mentioned petrol was up again, i hadnt noticed, having not filled up for a few weeks

let all those considering starting up in any transport business take note

it aint gonna get any better folks

I have been in Spain for the last 2 weeks. The price at my local garage has gone up by 2p a litre in that time, not by 10p.

On the news last night, price of crude oil gone up again; pound down against the dollar, even though it seems to be doing well against the euro...

Think lucky, petrol in Germany 173.9euro a litre; diesel 156.9 a litre...the cheapest is always Luxembourg, last time (July) at 123.9 for diesel, 146 for petrol, compared to 2 years ago diesel 92.3 a litre for diesel and about 110 for petrol. I go abroad quite a lot so keep an eye on these things!

Next time you go to Luxemberg, can you bring us back a couple of gallons?

Blame the surge in diesel car sales on fuel increases, 20 years ago only the taxi trade wanted them, and the UK produced sufficient diesel to meet demand, now - with everyone needing 45mpg (even 5000mile a year OAP shoppers and school run mums) we import diesel, so the price is even more dictated than crude import prices.

Diesel is a waste product of petrol refining, if the sale of petrol is low they can't they can't make diesel because they can't refine the crude to make petrol.

when the UK refineries were built 25+ years ago, they were expressley built to produce 75% petrol/25% diesel

now its the need is other way round, you cant change the refineries, and you dont make more diesel from the same barrel of crude, which is why we have to import refined diesel

We import petrol and diesel anyway don't we? North Sea Oil isn't used to refine petrol or diesel because of it's low quality.

North sea crude is HIGH quality
