Costco was 1.84 for diesel this morning. Tesco is still at 1.99.

I know it's membership only but its that the only reason is so much cheaper?

For £25 a year if it's going to stay like this is worth the membership alone (before the cafe food).

It was more than that last week so hopefully it's a sign that might come down a bit.

Well its a fizzy drink. Normally from the Pepsi range. But as they are an American Company they call it hot dog and soda

Costco is 1.75 at tile hill , and tesco is 1.86 at cannon Park..

Either way fuel prices are still way way too high and the profiteering we are seeing is outrageous

Nick · Jul 11, 2022

Shit, it's gone down then!

Best fill up tomorrow if it's £1.75.

Marty · Jul 11, 2022

It's been 1.75 at costco for about a week now. It's generally pritty good for stuff and we'll worth the £32 a year membership.

Soda is fizzy water.
I found out the hard way in Morrisons cafe when I was a boy.
Hated Americanisms ever since.

Yes, but then using that logic shouldn't we all be peed off with "hot dog" too?

Why would "soda" pee us off, but "hot dog" not?

It's 1.84 for diesel still?

Thought 1.74 was too good

You are right I misread its 1.75 for petrol not diesel

That's 11 p cheaper than tesco for petrol anyway

wingy · Jul 12, 2022

Still the differential between the two is better than approaching 20p which it was a few weeks back bizzarely.
Would it be down to scarcity or which is more predominant?

Yeah it is worth it as it's much cheaper, I got excited when you said 1.75 ha

Tax I think. Diesel is now the evil polluter after all, after years of being the cleaner way to run a car(!)

Yeah, few years ago it was "everybody should get a diesel".

Went to North Wales last week and turned off A5 towards Bala and first village petrol was £1.85. On way back it was £1.79.
I almost thought it was cheap.

Yeah I was out running this morning and saw diesel at €1.75 and thought it was a bargain.

clint van damme · Jul 17, 2022

Had to fill up on the M5 last night, 2.09, ouch!

Spot on. And they know it, hence it'll never drop by much. It doesn't seem 5 mins ago it hit £1.40 and I thought it was ridiculous.

Tommo1993 · Jul 17, 2022

Costco down at £1.73 and diesel I think was £1.82.

Remember spitting feathers at £1.20?

I remember a big news story when it broke £1 for the first time. And I’m not that old (I don’t think).

Gone are the days when I was driving RS Turbos around spitting flames out the back when I took my foot off the accelerator.

Literally burning £10 notes now.

how much was it when we had the fuel protests back in 2000, 80p? What's the after you adjust it for inflation, I'm guessing about £1.40.

I passed in 2011 and I think back then it was around £1.20-£1.30. I know it’s been lower than that between now and then

Nick · Jul 18, 2022

How much does it cost to charge a Tesla?

I really wouldn't mind one, if they weren't stupidly fucking expensive.
