So, less than a fortnight after Georgie Boy's "rabbit out of the hat" budget trick - fuel duty frozen again - we've just seen two price increases around our way and both are now 3p a litre more. Still a lot cheaper than a couple of year's ago. But is this the fuel companies taking advantage by putting their prices up at a convenient time? Call me an old cynic if you like! Wink

Find it strange that as oil a barrel goes up its an immediate rise at the pumps , yet the oil hasn't arrived at the pumps.  But when it goes down it takes them ages to reduce it.  Saying the cheaper barrel price oil hasn't arrived yet

still 99p per ltre in west Kent so come on down/over to Tunbridge Wells.

    Just cannot understand how the Southern region gets fuel at that price 99p. We haven't seen fuel below 104 p all year , now 106.9 ( 107 ) in real terms.

Supermarkets here in north Essex (Colchester area), are £103.9 for Diesel with other retailers as much as £106.9. Diesel is now back to being dearer than petrol but only by a penny in most cases.
