Thanks ! But I do, that`s why I put the workings there.
RIPPER:
work it out over a year or two, it’ll soon add up, and in the current economic climate it might help some people if they were switched on to it…but then again most people are like sheep or won’t change their habits and carry on regardless
Yep, it will make a difference, as also will blowing tyres up a little harder, driving smoother, throwing away the spare wheel and toolkit.
And I agree it is always good to talk about these things, not just carry on blindly.
But Ill still run from full to 1/4, cause I cant be arsed visiting garages!
dozy:
but how does that explain the op paying £300 one night , £600 the next , assuming he got the same amount of fuel ?
Because they’re not. The amount they’ll be paying will be dependent entirely on the rate their fuel card provider charges. When you fuel up on a fuel card, whether Keyfuels or any other, the price you pay is not the price on the pump. Every month the operator wil get told what the rate per litre is for the week by their fuel card provider and that’s what they’ll pay no matter where you go and the price. Its why lorries fuel up at motorway services even though its 20p a litre more than the local petrol station a couple of miles away.
So how do you go on then when the company says your allowed I.e £250 of fuel a day on your diesel card , if the display is wrong , you’ve not t got a clue what your putting in , I.e if it says 1.50 pl & it’s really 1.99 pl then you’ve put more than the £250 your allowed per day if you put £250 worth in ?
RIPPER:
Can’t get it in UK anymore Rob, was phased out in April i think, have to fill my fridge with white now, another rip-off from our so-called government
You can still get red diesel, my narrowboat runs on it. From the fuel boat it was £1.40 a litre at the tail-end of September.
Bunker on Trafford Park still offers red diesel. Personally I take no notice of the cost, I’m not paying. But yeah as has already been said the price displayed isn’t necessarily what the company pays.
