Petrol prices again - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

£1.10/L Super Unleaded. ****ing ridiculous. There's a recession on and demand isn't even that high.

tonigmr2 · 2nd July 2009, 02:06 PM

Demand in China and India is your problem, it's a globally driven price.

R33_GTS-t · 2nd July 2009, 02:24 PM

That's not actually the problem at all. Demand is still extremely low and the pound has strengthened against the dollar. The problems are:

1. OPEC Cartel

2. Oil Company Cartel

Multics · 2nd July 2009, 02:29 PM

3. Duty (which is the biggest part of the price per Litre)

furrywoolyhatuk · 2nd July 2009, 07:58 PM

The prices have been creeping up for a while, it infuriates me that we can do very little about it.

R33_GTS-t · 2nd July 2009, 08:06 PM

Should be a policy to cap them at £1/L.

furrywoolyhatuk · 2nd July 2009, 08:07 PM

That would be progress!

Snowfiend · 2nd July 2009, 08:31 PM

Indeed...seen a few garages now where diesel is cheaper then standard UL.

They're taking the piss !!!

G40tee · 2nd July 2009, 08:38 PM

pissing joke!!!

have to admit the car being off the road has helped my pocket but wow how it has gone up in the last few weeks!

Would you like to tell me where, my diesel volvo (dont snigger) needs filling up!

Snowfiend · 2nd July 2009, 09:14 PM

LOL...The Texaco on the A217 near Epsom mate, still 105.9p though.

First time in my life I wished my daily driver was a diesel I tell ya !

R33_GTS-t · 2nd July 2009, 09:29 PM

Wonder how easy it would be to smuggle it in from abroad?

EDIT: Inside Jap Imports.

MacGTR · 2nd July 2009, 10:22 PM

Yep, its a joke, the local is offering normal petrol at 104.9 and diesel at 101.9

I know that a few pence added on increases your fuel bill by a few quid but at the rate I go through the stuff it adds up!

Asim R32GTR · 2nd July 2009, 10:32 PM

Here in Norway i paid last weekend 1.30GBP for 1litre 99V Power!

Here in Japan we are paying around 120 yen a litre, which if you calculate at 160 yen to the pound, gives you 3/4 of a pound, ie 75p.

It's creeping up, but even so the UK seems to be a little cheeky.
