Fuel prices almost £2.20 per litre at London petrol station - over £10 for four litres | Express.co.ukAs above shocking prices don’t want to get into politics but we are getting shafted once again

How can it NOT be political?
The globalists want to destroy the Western world. It should be pretty obvious by now.
First the BS lockdowns for 2 years damaging the economy, now rampant inflation.
We need to tell these people where to go!
There have always been (edit lets just call them wide boys), they crawl out of the woodwork whenever there’s a chance to make a quick buck or to exert a little power or cruelty on people.
What i don’t get is why anyone would have anything to do with such rotten examples, we see such people in the media and politics every day and people keep watching them or voting for them, keeping them in money and kudos, personally i wouldn’t urinate on them if they were alight, nowt as queer as folk.
I’ll carry on,until going to work becomes unsustainable.
Don’t feel I’m playing my cards right atm.
There’s other options that could be put:
(1) I will do more to reduce my tax bill in future, eg. earn less.
(2) I will do more to commute less, such as refuse to take a job that involves 5 or 6 day working.
(3) I will refuse to commute distance to a shift of less than 12 hours
(4) I will lobby my MP to make essential public services like the NHS operate on a 24/7 basis like the transport industry has to foot the bill for already.
There is a large consignment of Gas being delivered to the terminal at the Isle of Grain near to where I live.
This consignment is from Russia, and is supposed to be sanctioned under the new agreements put in place already.
…It has been bought and paid for, however - so whomever bought it - will no doubt find a get-around to the sanctions.
some of it - was purchased by the NHS apparently…
Russia - has already been paid, as this consignment was bought forward on the futures market, so we cannot stop Russia being paid.
Thus, there is no shortage of actual “supply” - but the public get told there’s no fuel to be had (gas/petrol in particular) for love nor money, which leads to queues forming in panic, and then local forecourts might temporarily run out, leading to rumous that there is no fuel to be had anywhere…
Strangely, supplies of E5 required by older bangers like my own car - are ramped up even more than the headline forecourt prices suggest!
I had to pay 165.9p for E5 the other day when the forecourt board had 147.9 for unleaded, and 151.9 for Diesel…
It is like everywhere is getting away with charging MSA rates all of a sudden, despite deliveries at petroleum terminals - still coming through on schedule>!?

I’d feel that too, if I’d just drawn out £100 with a 3% cash handling charge, rather than just bite the bullet, and use my debit card at an actual forecourt… 
To “Play your Cards Right” - stop using cards in atms that get charged, and of course don’t let “At the Moment” get confused with Automated Teller Machine". 
Atms don’t charge in the East Midlands.just feel I’m going to work,because you’re supposed to.
I’m in the best job I’ve ever had…but don’t need it.
Too late for me.

Probably about £5 or maybe even more per litre.
Otherwise there’s no real alternative yet.
I filled up my motorbike today 13.55 litres for the past 200 miles. I can’t see myself spending 14 grand on a not very good electric bike yet.
It should be over £5 per litre in central London, there is no need for anyone to own a car.
To be honest…
I never look at the pump price, never.
The way I see it, I have to have petrol to make more money, or go to buy food or what ever reason I’m using the car for so, I just fill the car up, walk in, pay and then grumble to myself that it’s gone up again. I can’t change it I wish I could. My anger lies in the price increase which is applied within minutes of it being agreed and the price drop which so rarely occurs.
Remember when oil went down to minus 30 bucks a barrell? Was that reflected at the pump? Was it bollox!

That’s a long way from the swinging 60’s comrade.
Living in London doesn’t instantly turn everyone into car hating bus and train and cycle lovers just like living in Yorkshire.
There are still plenty of people who like their cars and long road trips.
Look on the bright side London property prices are crashing and there’s an exodus of people moving out because they can see the reality of living in Kahn’s inner city utopia.
I’m guessing you won’t be moving in there any time soon.

Bearing in mind that much/most of the pump price is duty and VAT.
That Daily Express article doesn’t make it clear what fuel was being supplied at £2.19 per litre - was it regular diesel, unleaded or some form of Premium diesel or petrol?
Oh - and a quick search on petrolprices.com reveals that the typical price in that locale is around £1.55 a litre for unleaded.

I filled up with Tesco E5 99 octane a few days ago £1.53 per litre also points on the clubcard.Although Byfleet not London.
At Cherwell valley when filled up today diesel was priced at £1.81 .
Not sure unleaded price. But people were in there filling there cars up
Filled up with E10 on Thursday gone ( 3rd ) at the local Sainsbury £1.47 per litre.
Tyneside

Seems bloody daft to me to fill up a private car at MSA prices when there are Tesco supermarket filling stations close to the M40 at both Banbury and Bicester where unleaded is getting on for 20p a litre cheaper.
There’s an Esso station at Baynards Green on the A43 about 1/2 a mile from Cherwell Services. Not as cheap as the supermarkets but still about 10p cheaper than the MSA.

I use a motorbike (Yamaha FJR1300)to commute to work on a Monday, and back again on a Friday. Run it on the E5 stuff and nearly fainted when it clicked over £30 filling from an indicated 1/4 tank, but a full tank will last me for about 3 weeks.
Probably cheaper to use a small car to commute, but nowhere near as much fun.

Nobody ever bought a big motorbike as a way of saving money on their commuting costs. (Although more than a few probably used this argument to get it past the domestic finances manager or simply to justify it to themselves - BTDTGTTS…)
