Until supply matches demand. Probably mid next year. Petrol prices are artificially inflated by the OPEC, because last year wasn't profitable and they were throwing away fuel, they couldn't store it.

80% of the country fell into fuel shortage scam and panic bought and caused havoc , low and behold we now have a big demand for fuel hence the price hike . There was no fuel shortage but the government is reaping the benefits of people panic buying because of the tax on fuel

As people go electric they'll need to replace all the lost fuel duty, VED etc. with something else and that'll probably include 'pay as you drive' charging. They'll also need to provide hugely expensive infrastructure which will have to be paid for one way or another. Driving in the future won't be cheap regardless of fuel choice.

I’ve got a proper Rolec doofer wotsit fitted outside. Much easier than faffing through your letterbox.

Except it's not HMG putting the price of petrol up, it's the international price of oil going up along with some profiteering by retailers.

ive said before, electric isnt the way forward, your just moving the use of fossil fuels to a place that you cant see it, plus they are an envioramental disaster to manufacure in comparison to an ice, not sure what the answer is, but petrol isnt going anywhere. and lets not forget alot of people cant charge at home.

the goverment have been taxing the hell out of petrol so people make the switch, remember they did that with petrol vs diesel, and look what happened there. so just ignore them and accept that what ever you drive its going to get expensive very soon.

It is what it is. I only use e5 as I find e10 gives me considerably less miles than e5. Plus my other car is to old to use it.

I drive way to many miles to have electric and to be honest it is only going to go up in price to charge them

Oil was $137 at its highest peak in march. Two week later it dropped to $99. It has not risen above the peak price that it was in march yet and petrol was roughly around £1.50 a ltr.

So please tell me why does the forecourt price keep rising?

Except it isn't as simple as simply moving the use of fossil fuels. A litre of diesel has ~12kWh of energy, my car averages about 16.5 miles/litre or about 1.4 miles/kWh. An equivalent EV would get around 4 miles/kWh. There are losses moving electricity around the grid and whilst power stations are massively more efficient than ICE cars they're still not 100% but ultimately an EV is a more efficient way to use fossil fuels even if all the energy was produced by using them. This is obvious when you think about it, they have regenerative breaking so you don't waste all your kinetic energy every time you brake and they don't have a massive air cooled radiator on the front throwing away waste energy. On top of this, the UK produces about half its electricity from renewable sources - roughly a 1/4 from wind. The argument that an EV simply moves the carbon footprint elsewhere is simply wrong.

Your comments on the environmental impact of manufacture holds a little more water but only a little, the impact really isn't significantly greater than that of an ICE car and getting better all the time.

Firstly this ……my Subaru is Matt black already and requires some exterior weapons ….. secondly we are heading for the worst global recession humanity has ever seen, too many countries have printed too much money over the last two years, globally to the tune of about thirty percent more ( which why is my food thirty per cent more expensive) food is impacted straight away as it’s immediately sold, fuel is being driven by govts and oil companies who will bleed everything dry because we allow them to, house prices are definitely in a bubble all over the world, China has it the worst on that front and because of thier economy is shrinking, every single commodity is priced using the dollar and this is being artificially kept strong by the stock market as they don’t want to be poor, it’s all lies greed and absolute power corrupts absolutely, so basically we are fucked, unless we have strong coherent leadership……..oh

Well in the last week alone at my local Tesco garage it’s gone up by 12p per litre.

I’m probably going to have to cancel some of my planned trips down south and I’ll definitely be favouring local meets rather than ‘road trip’ meets (which I really enjoy but can’t be helped).

Not whining - I can feed my kids and get to work - so I’m luckier than many.

Is anyone else expecting the petrol increases to impact on who/when they meet? X

Think more blackouts than prices.

Petrol and diesel will keep going up but gas us going to go the big issue.

Google this anytime of the day "UK energy mix live".

Right now, hottest day of the year, 23:45 at night and 65% of this country's Electricity is being generated from gas. It never drops below 40%, so when gas supply is short, where is Electricity to charge the cars, run our houses, street lighting and industry coming from?

This week, liquid gas plant in Texas mysteriously explodes making it months before US gas arrives to us and Europe. Yesterday, Germany announced gas supply from Russia is being cut by 30%, Italy by 15% and other countries also I expect.

This means little or no gas us being stored in Europe for Winter and demand will be high.

Where does that leave us?

15 to 20yr build time. Might be a little late.

Tony Blair kicked into the long grass, followed by Cameron who let Osborne lick the CCP's ass.

That finally ended in tears and threats over National Security of letting a potential enemy build nuclear power stations on our soil, taking our technical expertise. You saw Huawei and 5G, imagine nuclear power stations.

EDF, Toshiba and many others saw the light and ran a mile. Leaving us 15yrs overdue with old stations in poor state of repair being asked to run overtime many years beyond their design.

A batch recently given go ahead, but, they'll take decade's to build.
