At BP this morning. Nothing in my tank so no choice :(
Worked out that todays trip to Makro saved me about £18 in fuel money and I'm on 40/60 veg now.

f!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The MC swear filter will go into orbit if you keep putting up posts with titles like that! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:
-
One of our customers said they saw diesel at £1.09 last week. :shock:
Anyone else seen it for more?
-
and I thought £1 was bad!
-
I always run on BP ultimate, which is normally around £1.07+
So what ???
If you want economy, buy a Micra :shock:

I think it's more about feeling like your being ripped off.
Thank goodness for biodiesel! :wink:

Diesel was £1.09 a litre in June 2006 near Durness, Scotland.
I was shocked then, they must be really getting robbed up there these days, I should add that I wasn't robbed there, I was on LPG :D with the nearest LPG Station about 20 miles north of Inverness.
-
Still at 97.9 up here.

You're misssing the point a little.
-
It kinda justifies my choosing a petrol engine over a diesel one. :?
-
How much is petrol a litre at the moment?
-
96.9 here at the mo.
-
Diesel is costing me about 102.9/l here at the moment, that's at our local BP garage, who for some reason tend to be about 1p/l cheaper than the other franchised garages in town.
Having said that it seems that every time I call in for fuel the price has crept up another 1p.
-
I get the point, but what are you lot going do about it (the price)?
I cycle to work a lot, and if I want cheap fuel (not likely) i'll run on regular diesel..
I am never going to be able do anything about it, so it's pointless moaning, it just makes you miserable ...
We ALL get ripped off one way or another, but we also have CHOICE, it's like road tax, I choose to run a 4x4, so I pay the premium...as I'm sure you do to :wink:
-
Two days ago Petrol was 108.9p and Diesel was 106.9p, today they're both 108.9p. But as we're normally anything up to 10p a litre more than the mainland then I'm sure it'll go up again next week if you lot are seeing the same price as us. :evil:
Oh, and we've been over £1 per litre since August 2006! :wink:
-
There's a garage in Kirkcaldy that's selling bio @ £1.08 & normal diesel for £1.29p per litre. :shock:
Wonder how much he sells per week ? :lol:
-
Perol here is £1 a litre Diesel £102.9. I need my car as I have bad legs I cannot walk far and as for cycling that is out the window,
-
whatever :lol:
-
Sod that. Tesco corn oil is currently 49p/l. Unfortunately it only comes in litre bottles so it takes a while to fill! However, if you do it in Tesco car park you can put the empty bottles straight in the 'Plastic Bottle' recycling bin.
Made me feel really green for a change. I drive around in an 18 year old vehicle which is kept on the road by recycling parts from an old Disco (engine) and RRC (Axles) using renewable fuel sources and recycling all packaging without travel costs. Stick that in yer exhaust pipes Mr Prius pious. lol

What's the bottom line on veg oil straight out the tin at the moment,what happens if i get stopped by VOSA and get dipped?

Look at the threads in the bio/alternative fuel section.
Long and Short is that you are ok for 2500 litres
-
What's the bottom line on veg oil straight out the tin at the moment,what happens if i get stopped by VOSA and get dipped?
No Problem. It isn't illegal to run on straight vegetable oil, and you can use up to 2500 litres per annum without having to pay road fuel duty (or vat for that matter).

Or roughly 549 Gallons, or 13,000 miles (note, conservative guestimates)

Yes, we do all have a CHOICE and actually there is something that you CAN do about the price, such as running on an alternative fuel such as SVO (some vehicles will require modification such as a twin tank system before running on svo) or biodiesel (no modification needed). Price may not be something that concerns you, but it certainly concerns many people who still want to enjoy driving their 4x4's without having to pay the premium.
By filling up (60 litres) with biodiesel at 79ppl instead of £1.09, the chap who told us about the £1.09ppl saved himself £18!!!! :lol:
Enuf said. :wink:

2500 litres of dino diesel @ £1.09ppl = £2725
2500 litres of biodiesel @ 79ppl = £1975
2500 litres vegetable oil @ 49ppl = £1225
Saving of £1500 using SVO
Saving of £750 using biodiesel

Whilst I appreciate the information, do you have any details of suppliers in other areas? Somehow I don't think that driving to huddersfield to fill up would save me much in diesel :(
Although, as I say, I appreciate the offer was just wondering if your contacts would be able to supply more info :)

Where abouts do you live?
-
Hampshire (southampton specifically) ...
A cursory glance around google suggests that you might still be the closest :(
hehe, oh well, there's a tescos nearby and it's not like the 200 is especially "refined"

Have a look at
http://www.biodieselfillingstations.co.uk/outlets.htm
or
http://www.thebiodieselcook.com/
between them they list most of the biodiesel outlets.
Hope that helps. :wink:

-

How far away from you is your nearest outlet? The reason I ask is due to someone else having the same issue, I suggested to him that it may be worth clubbing together with some like minded mates and bulk buying (usually about 1000 litres). You can usually get it a bit cheaper in bulk, plus it saves you having to go back and forth if the supplier isn't local. All you need is an IBC and somewhere to store it.
Or you could just get some jerry cans and stock up if the above isn't of interest to you.

Datalas
As pointed out there is one not far from me, well 20 mins drive. Just fill afew cans up as I have large numbers of 20L cans sat here while I work out what to do with em.
-
Still at 0.94something here in Telford, but I wonder if it's worth the extra 14p a litre to avoid coming here? :?
-
There's a garage in Kirkcaldy that's selling bio @ £1.08 & normal diesel for £1.29p per litre. :shock:
Wonder how much he sells per week ? :lol:

Bridgeton filling station, just down from the fitba' ground, opposite B&Q.
-

-

-
This Morrning ( Tuesday ) Price of Petrol 97;9, pop down the shop tonight and.....99;9, up 2p in less then 12 hours :shock:
-
Texaco station, by the White Rose Centre, Leeds - £1.07.9 per litre for diesel!!! :shock:
-
Was passing a little garage today in the middle of the Lincolnshire countryside. I had to look twice as they were charging £1.15 for diesel.
I did need fuel so I went into Boston and found Tesco selling at 99.9p a litre. I think that the days of the pre £1 litre are numbered in Lincs.

Demand ?
It used to be cheaper of course, but now it's in higher demand (due to the sort of more efficient argument for diesels) hence, it's more expensive.
-
i found diesel at 96.4p this afternoon ....
down here in devon :wink: :lol:
-
Currently 105.9 for diesel here in the Aberystwyth area, and that's both in town and out here in the wilds.
-
OK, this is getting really OTT now. :evil:
Went into Stornoway this afternoon and passed the cheapest petrol station on the island to find that diesel has gone up 5p a litre since Friday!!
Petrol - 111.9p
Diesel - 117.9p
LPG - 44.5p
At this rate the LPG kit for the V8 is looking really good, but how can diesel be 6p a litre more than petrol?
-
i seen diesel the other day at 113.9 i nearly crashed the car lol :lol:
-
It's been £1.12 here for a while, and seems likely to climb. Veg oil would appear to be the way forward!
-
Range of diesel prices around the Lothians and Borders...
Edinburgh
Asda/shell 1.039
North Berwick
Tescos 1.069
Haddington
Jet 1.059
Lauder
CO-OP - 1.079

-
Sad how much more can it keep going up ??????

-

-
mine runs better on bio than on normal diesel and smells better. and if you shop around you get good value. and if we getthe urge for chips we jsut raid the boot. :lol:
-

Because Fatty two-jags realised so many people had switched to Diesels to save themselves some money and didn't like it. He blamed their high particulate emissions and said they weren't clean engines. The price of Petrol didn't come down though, did it :wink:
-
I drove past a fuel station near Brighton today, with diesel at £1.12 a litre. :shock:
-
I saw diesel at £1.14.9 in Norfolk today!
