What is going on with the Diesel prices.
« on: May 22, 2008, 12:00:02 am »
I saw a 128.9p today, can anyone tell me why the prices are going up and up and up? I started this job, and the price was under a pound, that was like 1,5 year a go?!

I just don't understand it, surely there must be loads and loads of reserves everywhere??

I believe its going to hit £2 a litre at end of year !   Diesel is only good now if you are doing over 30k a year .

pingu, Would love to do it, but my calculations on the cost work out that it would cost nearly 90p a litre to make biodiesel anyhow, so not much saved.  Is this the case, or can it be done cheaper?

 >:( It is disgusting "Pure greed" by the Government!  >:(

We were all told to "Go Green"

Hundreds of thousands move over to Diesel from petrol... Reward more expensive  >:(

It's called "supply and demand" I call it criminal  >:(

£127.9 a lt here (and thats the cheapest in town... you can add 2-5p on that at others!)
 Daylight robbery!  :o  :o  :o

Regular rises are here to stay for at least the next 8 years  :( according to some minister speaking on the radio. Opec are refusing to produce more fuel and that is the main cause of the fuel increases.....ho hum, in for a bumpy ride for all businesses this year >:(
