Petrol Prices ....

Postby TheOstrich » 06 Mar 2022, 15:12

It's gone up to 155.9 for unleaded (E10) at the town's Esso petrol station today. I took the precaution of topping up the tank. :oops:

My friend in Bridport tells me it's 159.9 down there, and Morrisons tanks have run dry. It's the same story in Wincanton where there also seems to be a shortage of fuel .....

What are the prices where you are?

Ours are going up from between 8 to 15 cents from tomorrow.

It's anything from 1.80 to 1.90 a litre at the moment :shock: :shock:

Here in Ireland, it’s hovering around €1.85 a litre. Our SIL works for Maxol, so he has been just a bit busy this week……

Around the £1.50 mark, depending where you buy.

I filled uplast week when I went to Tesco. It was £1.49 per litre.

I have been keeping a record of petrol prices for several years.
In 20121 it was 128.9 per litre, 106.9 in 2015 and 99p on 15th December 2015.-Must have been an easrly Christmas present.

I can remember when it went up to £1,00 per GALLON. I was still working so that must have been sometime between 1976 and 1996.

Morrisons usually has the cheapest petrol and they were sitting at 152 on Friday :( I was visiting friends near Southampton over the weekend so 100mile round trip and that's taken a good chunk of petrol out the tank. I may top up again tomorrow becasue it's not going to go down in price and Wednesday I'm having a ganglion removed and then aren't allowed to drive for a week. So may as well get petrol now before it has a whole week to go up to even more silly money

When MrsC and I went past our local Shell station this morning E10 petrol was £1.59 a litre.
So I went to fill up this afternoon and it had gone up to £1.67 a litre!

Suff, I remember that. I had a Lambretta 150 in 1973 and petrol was 33p a gallon then.
