It looks like fuel duty will be going up by around 13p per litre from April. |

Have noticed that petrol is coming down in price. Whilst diesel is still crazy priced. |

We off-shored our diesel refinery to Russia. Those geniuses in parliament thought it would be a good idea to save money on the high expenditure of refining it at home. Because we would never impose sanctions on the Russians so everything will be okay. They also decided to close most of the gas storage facilities in the UK too. Because who needs long term storage of gas when you can buy it on the spot market ultra cheap? It's not like the market might experience shortages from time to time and prices might surge resulting in the UK having no option but to pay the high price on the market due to having no storage of gas. Those politicians are bright folks you know. Be sure to vote those Tories in again come the next election. They are doing a marvelous job. And expect diesel prices to be even higher in 2023 assuming the war does not end. £2.00 a litre will be a given if nothing changes anytime soon. |

There’s a garage near Whitchurch (Essar) which has its own tankers selling diesel for £167.9 at the moment. Luckily enough I pass by it twice a week and always fill up (I put a shot of millers ecomax in as well, works out at £1.50 a shot but I’m still saving the best part of £10 per fill) |

(A Gordon Brown entitative i seem to recall) but NOW they regret it lol especially when the EGR, DPF, DMF, VGT fail..........cos the car never gets hot Yes. I only own petrol cars now. In fact most of my cars that I have owned have been petrol. I had a few diesel cars on my fleet when I had my taxi business and they was a nightmare. Forget about modern diesels. Anything post 2008 with the DPFs fitted are a joke. It's a matter of time before they damage the whole engine. Ticking time bombs. Diesel will never be cheap again. Somewhere around a third of a barrel of oil gets refined into diesel. The costs to build a refinery for diesel are mega bucks. Unless the government taxes petrol more than diesel then petrol will continue to be significantly less per litre than diesel. The government should be encouraging motorists to use petrol over diesel so the limited (and in short supply) diesel can be used for trucking, agriculture, buses & trains etc. With the exception of mpg they are cheaper to run, anyway. Honda or Toyota petrol engines are capable of very high mileage. No dpfs, turbos, EGR valves, injectors or going into limp mode to worry about. For taxi driving hybrids will probably be the best solution between the two. |

Only gas guzzler V8 SUV's seem to get LPG conversions, its 80p/ltr (10% less MPG than petrol though due to lower calorific value) .......time was LPG could be had on new cars... and its cleaner burning than petrol |
