"Parts of Scotland displaying pump prices £2.38 a litre for diesel. Plymouth to Exeter and back £20. Ridiculously expensive for everyone. Can Trump make peace with Iran or should we accelerate the ZEM ? " Trump is making a personal fortune so doubt he's bothered. He certainly doesn't give a shit about Americans do why would he be bothered us? | |||

"If nothing else, can they not stop motorway service stations charge more than the nearest local town?" No. Motorway service stations pay huge amounts of rent to get that prime space, and they have to provide free water and toilet facilities. They need to get their money back somehow. | |||

Well they could, they are meant to be in charge. They could do what other countries leaders do and take control of stuff that's important , but they won't, because they are rubbish. They just like to argue with each other and talk bollocks while the public sector and the private sector run the country anyway they please. | |||

"So if the government do scrap vat and dutie on fule how would you segest they replace that income. Or are you expecting more cuts in service. " Treasury collects roughly £31 billion from petrol/diesel through fuel duty and VAT. For consumers (not businesses) that’s from income that has already been taxed. | |||

"So if the government do scrap vat and dutie on fule how would you segest they replace that income. Or are yiu expecting more cuts in service. " They don't have to completely scrap it, they could just lower it. The fuel taxes are calculated as a percentage of the fuel cost, so the fact that fuel prices have recently risen means that the government is getting more tax from us. | |||

But Burnham is spending money fast this might help plug the gap. I would be happier if the money went in to the roads but that's just wishful thinking 🤔 It will go in to homeless first probably but that's a need as well.. | |||

"All this conversation on how to get fuel prices down is a diversion. The orange turd is the problem and the fact that bullet hit his ear instead of his nut!!" Oooo controversial! Strange how the far left see assassination attempts on people they don’t like as acceptable. The Middle East has been in turmoil for decades. We are where we are partly because we’ve not ensured our own energy and fuel security and we’ve ignored various backward regimes because we like their oil. This is on us as well, not just Trump. | |||

"CURRENT RETAIL DIESEL PRICES British Pounds (£) per litre 2 October 2026 Russia £0.78 / litre New Zealand £1.22 / litre United States £1.27 / litre Australia £1.51 / litre Spain £1.63 / litre Italy £1.92 / litre UK. £2.00 / litre France £2.02 / litre Germany £2.05 / litre" Man you were so close to hitting on the right answer without hitting on it So let’s split top 4 and bottom 5 in two Top 4…. Net diesel producers Bottom 5 … Europe… diesel importers Bottom 5 use to get a lot of diesel from Russia… before Ukraine and sanctions, Then under pressure from us to get from them and Middle East instead Then came war with Iran.. and blockade of paths for diesel out… so Europe became more reliant of Exported US diesel … about 30-35 percent of Europe needs comes from the US So if US export ban happens.. Europe will be even more screwed Which leaves us where we are now | |||

And before anyone questions this if there was a pump 5p above the normal pump price marked UK fule no nobody would use it. How now fills up with premium at +10p ?? | |||

Diesel will be required for decades yet our useless government has made business conditions so difficult that more than half our refineries have closed recently, leaving us entirely dependent on imported diesel. | |||

" Diesel will be required for decades yet our useless government has made business conditions so difficult that more than half our refineries have closed recently, leaving us entirely dependent on imported diesel." no, seven UK oil refineries closed during the 1980s, accounting for over half of the 12 closures between the early 1970s and 2022. two more closed in the 2010's and grangemouth announced that production would cease in 2023. that accounts for 10 of the 17 refinery closures since 1976. | |||
