What’s the average?
Going up in leaps & bounds in Southern Spain (maybe all of Spain).
Shell over the road from where we’re staying was 1.859€ when we got here last week, now 2.0299€.
Cheese is pricey too as are fish & chips. 23€ for large cod & chips, a small cod, & mushy peas. (Yes, it was cod)
Just wondering.
Back up to £1.96 from £1.85 in Galloway
Can’t pass comment on fish n’ chips as I’m veggie, and haven’t had a bag of chips since 2018
1.80 in Falkirk
My local garage went up from 179 to 194 overnight as he just had a new delivery and it was 15p/litre dearer than the one before! Owner reckons that is the biggest single price increase on a tanker load he has ever had. A 20 kg bag of mixed chicken corn has also just gone from £10 to £14 and a tonne of sheep feed has increased from about £280 to £480...
tough times ahead
There is, or was, a government funded discount on Spanish fuel? You get 20% off pump price at the till. Haven't bought any for a month or so, but that was the case last time
Don't know about the UK, but here in Germany prices have kept jumping up.
Around 2.20€/ltr. Was in Italy last week and it was 1.75€.....first time I've seen prices in Italy lower than in Germany. Should have made the detour to Samnaun (tax free enclave in Switzerland) on the way home as it was 1.54€!
Just leapt 7p a litre overnight on the Welsh west coast.
Filled up on Sunday at £1.79.
Monday, £178.7. Filled the tank with super duper Texaco to flush through before the MoT a few weeks ago; that was eye-watering!
Farmgate EU cos milk price is up 42% on this time last year. so cheese has gone up considerably. I can see lots of small independent cheesemakers folding because of this. Big processors should be fine, same goes for on farm producers but anyone buying milk in, will be in for a rough ride.
Pound fallen against the USD this morning (👍Kwazi) so more fuel increase on the way unless these increases include it?
1.80 in Falkirk
A whole 20p/ltr more expensive than petrol as well (Tesco Redding Road up the brakes). Is that normal across the UK?

It never used to be but it is now.
I’m pretty sure that about a year or so back it was only about 5-10p a litre dearer but I’ve seen it 25p dearer in some places recently.
£1.83 ish in the Derbyshire countryside.
A whole 20p/ltr more expensive than petrol
Yep, this is what I've noticed a lot too.
Wipes out my mpg savings from driving the diesel!
£1.80 ish in Salisbury
£1.85 last time I filled up (Monday night) £70 to fill up a Ford fiesta!!!
£1.86 or thereabouts & I can't even get near the advertised mpg of my new to me car 😠 so would have def been cheaper to go petrol

tbf though the advertised petrol mpg would likely be just as optimistic.
182.9 in the village, saw a garage asking 197.9 in town 7 miles away!
A whole 20p/ltr more expensive than petrol
I've even seen my 'go-faster' petrol at slightly under diesel prices now.
£1.73.9 / litre on Monday eve.
But I drove past another place asking £1.89 on the same night.
Glad I filled right up.
tbf though the advertised petrol mpg would likely be just as optimistic.
Petrol Mazda 3, stated mpg figures 43/55/66 & can get real 60mpg on a long trip.
Diesel Volvo V40, stated mpg figures 69/78/85 & so far I can only average a real 55mpg, so massively missing the target 🤔
It was in the news that OPEC have just agreed to reduce supply for some reason, so prices have gone up very recently.
I hate myself for saying it but I'm finding that V-power diesel is actually worth buying at the moment; the price uplift locally is only 10p/L and I'm finding that proportionally over the increased cost of standard Shell fuel, that the gains are worthwhile. My Skoda Superb drives both better and more economically with that particular premium fuel, enough to make the now 5% extra cost worth it. On long drives I'm getting close to 70mpg (measured, on filling) and over 60 for normal driving. It's a few percent better than the basic Shell fuel. This car has expensive tastes and is really fussy; it smokes on the couple of occasions over the years that I've used cheaper fuel.
Reducing production boosts prices, which suits both the Saudis and Putin.
Remember, there's little love between OPEC and the NATO block.
Asda Hulme Manchester, £1.597 petrol £1.757 diesel this morning as I cycled past. It's one of the cheapest I pass as I go, hah hah !

Bear in mind that the banner price for fuel in Spain includes a €0.20 subsidy so the price you pay is lower, obviously it doesn't say anything for the movement in price. Here in Cataluña we pay €1.50 odd Inc the rebate. As for cod, chips and mushy peas, eating this on the shore of the Med, you deserve everything you get! There is much better locally sourced seafood available rather than one that is caught in the northern Atlantic. Lubina, sardines, prawns, tuna etc best value is a good paella but avoid the tourist areas, they're generally a rip off.
How come diesel is going up while petrol is going down? Surely they should roughly follow each other. Have also noticed diesel is a good 20p+ more expensive everywhere.

We’ve only had local food all week, we rarely eat any non local food & keep well away from British bars/restaurants. We were in La Duquesa & the smell wafted out of the chippy, it was a no brainier after that. They were pretty good too, just expensive.
You didn’t mention chipirones/puntillatas. I can’t get enough of those.

Diesel is more used by trucks, which are used more for delivering goods. So diesel demand varies more with consumer demand and economic performance. I think winter heating oil demand also affects it.
Filled up last night at local Salisbury's 178.9

Apples and oranges - what's the petrol Volvo like? Honest John's Real MPG suggests they're similarly exaggerated.
Petrol has more refining capacity than diesel which adds to the cost of diesel at the pump.
1.789 in berkshire this morning.
2 years ago petrol and diesel were about equal price. I felt very smug with my diesel. Now a big chunk of that advantage is gone. PLus from next year (probably) I wont be allowed inside the M25.

We drove to Italy in the summer and noticed Diesel was approx. 10 cents per litre cheaper than Petrol - so can only assume part of the price disparity over here is tax?
It'll rise again IMHO too looking at the pound and Saudis position

It'll rise again because in March the duty was lowered by 5p, which was offset by a rise in VED. Duty is due for a revisit in March 2023. Fuel duty and the VAT rate for both diesel and petrol are the same
Potential triple-bubble for HMG, higher price as @duncancallum suggests, more VAT income as a result, VED up and fuel duty up (possibly)
174.9 at Tesco Stalybridge this morning, up from 179.9 last week to 189.9 at the BP less than a mile away
I’m veggie, and haven’t had a bag of chips since 2018
Our local chippie has a dedicated veggie/vegan chip fryer. The lad is catered for when he visits we ring and ask for vegan chips and they're ready in 20 minutes.
176.9 Tesco Prestwich last night. Dropped from 177.9 last week.
I remember the icy ball in my stomach back in the sunlit uplands of March when it went past 150.
filled up yesterday, 2.25/litre for diesel in sweden (~28 sek) only 1.75/l for petrol (~22 sek).
Hope the company car scheme opens up again soon. 1600 sek to fill the tank is starting to hurt.
199.9 at my local BP last night.
WTF
