Wish me luck, I have half a tank already so wont be too bad.

On the plus side it should be about 1 month before I need to venture onto a petrol station forecourt again.

On another side note it wont be long where cars where the fuel inside the car is worth more than the car itself.

I pass a cheap petrol station on the way to work so will fill up even if it just means saving a few pennies.

The rate its going up if I leave it for a week it will be up a few more p's a litre.

I also feel a fuel blockade or protest is around the corner, these increase must be affecting haulage companies alot.

I am pretty sure I remember strikes and haulers and tractors lining the roads when fuel hit £1.30 years ago..

Where are they now....!!!!

Fuel is the government's way of paying for bexit and covid!!!

50% of the price goes to the government..

I agree...try not to let it get under half a tank.

If there is going to be some fuel protest etc you can be sure the cost will rise even more.

I'm almost out and will have to fill up Monday, absolutely dreading it, last I filled up properly was about £88 but obviously has gone up since then.

I was also wondering about the strikes, I remember it happening when it went to over £1 a litre and when it hit £1.50 and yet not a peep now

I doubt we’ll see blockades like that ever again, thanks to tony Blair after the 2000 blockades.. he changed the laws to make it illegal and drivers can lose their licenses and operators shut down.. no one will take the risk again..

Over here in Spain the prices have gone up, however when the prices started to rise the lorry drivers decided to strike a result of which the government gave a 30 cents rebate on each litre of diesel or petrol, so we're currently paying about €1.65/€1.70 a litre.up until the rises started I was paying €1.35 a litre

We’re all p’d off at how the prices have shot up and all moan but few will do anything..

so here’s an idea which with enough support across the country could help..

BP is normally the dearest and their CEO bernard looney said earlier this year and I quote’fuel is a cash cow’ .. so just avoid bp like the plague , we can all use an alternative and save money, maybe with the exception of some comps fuel card users.. even avoid the m&s shops inside and get them to put pressure on bp too..

this would work on supply and demand, they’ll have a surplus of fuel and will have no choice but lower they’re prices. This would have to be a sustained thing over several months.

Likewise in Trinidad where not only do they produce their own but it is nationalised along with the filling stations.

A quick google says the uk sells roughly 120 million litres per day of fuel for both petrol and diesel.

Given the price increase it means the government now collect roughly 14p more per litre in duty and VAT over what was the normal price around the £1.50-£1.60.

They're collecting an extra £16.8 million per day in revenue.

Thieving bastards.

The price for delivering an HGV load from a to b is significantly less than 20k. Most if the time it's less than 1k.

Also, the haulage industry has been consolidating loads as much as possible for years. That's called business sense.

It's a valid point.

However I am led to believe it's haulier. Our pricing was around 1k, but these pricing changes are expected to hit our industry in next the couple of months particularly on our direct drives.

They have already hit other industries so I was told.

I don't understand why some blame the government. Am I missing something? Did they actively increase the prices somehow or the tax rate on it?

Isn't it determined by factors like the rising US$ exchange rate because of their rising interest rates or oil prices as determined by OPEC and supply issues? Some oil producing nations subsidise their fuel to their population to keep them from an uprising. Little things like that, right?

Well, when EVERYTHING is increasing due to external geopolitical issues the government has a responsibility to take care of it’s people. In this instance the government duty accounts for 40%+ of what we pay on fuel. They could absolutely do something about that and should.

I buy fuel in bulk for the HGV fleet where I work. It's cheaper than pump prices, but still expensive. I buy around 20,000 litres per week. Last week it was £1.55 + VAT per litre.

I made a 90-second phone call to my supplier to place the order, and spent £31,000 + VAT. This is a weekly occurrence. The price had increased 7p per litre from the week before, which is an increase of £1,400 + VAT.

Over a year I spend well over £1m on fuel on behalf of the company. Mind-blowing

How would you propose they put it back to 40% when times have settled without facing a massive round of whinging by the population again? I don't know about you but faced with that prospect, I'd try something else rather more temporary and easier to remove once external factors have calmed down.

It's not 'determined' by those factors, though they play a role. However, I would argue that a more important role is played by capitalism.

"Also it won't be long before we need to worry about siphoning in the dead if night"

Someone in my area had his entire tank of fuel stolen, they drilled a hole into the tank and emptied it

"Saw it at 192.9 for unleaded and 199.9 for diesel at our local Gulf garage last night, we are semi rural but not that far out.

I'm lucky in that I don't pay for fuel directly must be fkn hell if you're on a budget."

Yup. I have a one litre car…. It took £61 to fill it, when I bought it in 2018 right up to the beginning of this year, it was around £35-37 to fill it

"I’m glad I switched to electric even with the electricity price hike we are still paying a fraction of what we were in Diesel

Yep. Best ever sales campaign for electric cars. "
Not really. Electric is going up too. I actually was researching and It isn't much cheaper.. and the extra hassle of waiting to charge it would take all the fun out of driving..... I also can't function my life with a car that needs charging every 150miles. ( realistically the cars I've looked at would )

I was in Cambridgeshire over the weekend and I could do a return trip on £45-£50, this weekend I put in £75 and had less fuel in the tank when I got back. I also drove at the most efficient speed.

Just leave your fuel cap off, at least there won't be damage....

We drive a hybrid and I have never been more grateful of that fact! I would not like a fully electric car though, for the reasons you stated.

"Because we are English. The French wouldn't stand for this. We all as a nation roll over and go yes sir yes sir three bags full sir.

I live in France and the price is only slightly cheaper than the U.K - but the government has rebated 15 cents a litre.

Electricity in France has always cost more than U.K. but the standing charges price rises for gas and electric means that my electric is much cheaper now as government has capped the pice rise and some get good rebates if they have low income.
