One of the lads said to me today that the fuel price rise doesn't really affect him.

Apparently he only ever puts £30 in at a time. :D

How many of you who can raise your prices have done so due to the increase in costs?

morrisons now 159.7 rest now 168.9 but was told this morning a driver filled up at Asda in grotsville at 151.9p yesterday

somewhere along the line there is an awful lot of profiteering going on because I doubt Asda are selling fuel at a loss

We changed our minds. We decided on £7.00 for the 2 miles at daytime prices.

One of the 4 filling stations here has gone up to 173.9 today. I might have to review our prices again.

Seems to me that imposing sanctions on the Russians and slowly weaning ourselves of the 8% of oil that we buy from Russia will have a much larger detrimental affect on our own economy than theirs, this on an economy already suffering from Covid could put us into an economic recession or depression some time soon....it makes me wonder if in trying to save a country which is not in our gift to save is actually worth ruining our own nation over, maybe this was Putins cuuning plan all along.

it may only be 8% of crude oil but most of our refineries have been "streamlined" (aka shrunk) and we buy in large quantities of diesel which is produced in one of the few nations on earth to have invested in refineries specifically designed to produce diesel...




...Russia :sad: #-o

diesel fuel is getting scarce once some idiot in fleet street publishes an article telling the mass public about this it will get scarcer still

I found this online:

Quote:
Can we expect to see disruption to UK fuel refineries as a result of the sanctions or disruption to fuel being imported to the UK?

The UK is a significant producer of both crude oil and petroleum products.

In the case of diesel, UK demand is met by a combination of domestic production and imports from a diverse range of reliable suppliers beyond Russia including the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, and USA.

Like other countries, the UK holds oil stocks in the unlikely event of a major oil supply disruption.

The level of oil stocks prescribed by the International Energy Agency (IEA) is accepted and adopted around the world as being sufficient to ensure resilience in the event of a major global supply disruption.

UK oil reserves are significantly above the 90 days required by the IEA.
