Because Russia refine 20% of our diesel, up to 40% in reality.

Could be good news for us, gets rid of the casual window cleaners  ;D

As the weather is getting warmer and the demand on heating oil lessons, we should see a reduction in the wholesale price of diesel.

They are charging what they like for oil I wouldn’t want to be on oil for heating next winter.

There is no good news in that - for anyone - casual or serious or just starting or well established.
The s**t has not hit the fan yet! :)

Local Total outlet reduced the diesel price by 5p last week, but has increased the price 3p a litre overnight.

Apparently some parts of China have gone into a covid lockdown again which should reduce oil prices a bit....

How does it cost you £140 to fill up your tank BTW?(I fill mine up when I get down to a quarter of a tank due to my diesel heater)currently I put in around £45-£50 to fill mine up to the brim....

It's costing me around £40 a week to drive my van and heat my water every day for work....before the price hike it was roughly £30-£35....

The key is to build your round within a few miles of home to keep driving/fuel costs,wear and tear on your van to a minimum....that's my philosophy anyway....👍

80l tank in my custom mate, always brim it right up, then fill up again once on the red. I can get 79litres in it. The newer facelift transit customs have a 70l tank, so they ‘seem’ cheaper to brim.

Lasts me a month sometimes, so not an issue r.e compact work mate  8)

I’m averaging 31.7mpg overall.  Not bad for a big van with a 750l tank.

I think it’s possible diesel will be even more expensive depending on the Russia situation.

If they don’t do something pretty quick there will be major problems with no fuel at all with holidaymakers coming down
