monkey76364 Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 I was just in the phone to the other half seeing how her evening was going and catching up on all the gossips as you do. She works for Tesco in Maidstone and although at present there pertol seems to be around 93.9p a litre compared to my Shell Optimax I put in to day at 99.9p a litre in Erith She has told me that they have had a memo go around in the garage that as of Friday petrol will rise again and may even go above £1 a litre even at Tesco (most Tescos in the Uk this will apply too). Now I would normally go else where but I know it would be no good this time as listed on this note is all the other super markets in the area, Asda Sainsburys ect, and other petrol stations are already much higher, the local one that is a mile away is 99.9 for normal petrol !!! So if you need more fule in your tank top up before Friday as its gona rise again and this time it may be a big one !!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian R Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Quite true we had an email at work (Tesco) to check our poll signs go above 99.9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkey76364 Posted September 6, 2005 Author Share Posted September 6, 2005 hmmmm i work in an oil factory (cooking oil that is) now i know its possible to run cars on that oil... any one recon i could do the supra ha ha ha ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJI Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 can you really see that happening Bobbeh ? these days they use the most minute excuse to raise the price of oil.... at the moment they [that being the government and the fuel companies and OPEC] are making stupendous amounts of profit. I vary rarely see them cutting the price..... even when supply levels of oil are surplus to demand. Watching the news this morning it is good to see that there are plans for further action by the farmers and haulage unions. More road blockades and refinery blocking hopefully. Wonder how the government spin doctors are going to try to turn the public this time ?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 More blockades next week is why it's going up this week, so they can bring it down again to where it is now and keep everyone happy because they've apparently 'reduced' it!!! The blockades worked last time anyway, it went down almost 10p IIRC in the weeks following it. Obviously they just claimed oil price reductions, and still said they 'don't negotiate' but then they have to appear to not be giving in don't they (that's actually fair enough cos if the government look weak and give in to protestors we'd really be in the sheet!!). So hopefuly they'll protest until there's no fuel in the pumps and the shop shelves are empty, then it'll all stop and nothing will have changed, but then slowly over a few weeks the price will come down.

michael Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Is the price of race fuel rising at the same rate? It might end up being cheaper to run on Cool Blue rather than Optimax in a bit.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 Oil prices have actually dropped today, so prices may come down next week. One thing I notice here is the Dutch are very quick to increase or decrease the cost of fuel in line with the price of oil. I haven't been back to the UK in a while but I remember the UK were very, very slow to reduce the price, if at all. We'll see... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
