Farm I used to work on all did that

There's a lot of cattle auctions round where I live too, never seen so many landrovers do one when a police car drives past as you do there

They often set up "traps" outside the auctions (like they would set them up in a town centre on a saturday night to catch drunk drivers) just to catch people using farm diesel

Here in Guernsey its about £1.05 for unleaded and about £1.10 for diesel (per litre).

Yeh, pretty sure many farmers drive around with red deisel back home. Quite easy to tell though, as it makes them smoke like a b**ch. Never done it myself, nor have my parents, but it's quite tempting when you've got a tank full of the stuff just sitting there.

I know a few people who run their diesel cars on vegetable oil though, either re-cycled stuff from fish n' chips shops, or just straight from the supermarket. Can smell a little odd, but tends to drive fine.

 

[Rugbyfan23]

3.68 regular.

diesel is around 4.10.

 

[T-Raz]

its $1.49 here for unleaded..bugger if i know the rest but all these tensions in the Middle East is to blame...i blame democracy.

 

[Teh Mite]

Filled up my car last night: £47 for 35.4 litres. Works out on average at £1.32-8 a litre.

I wouldn't complain so much except I use a full tank every week. It takes the **** tbh.

 

[munstermuffin]

€1.52 for unleaded here and €1.49 for diesel.
Will cost about €70 to fill a 1.4litre car here. Heard too in Ireland they predict it could get good bit higher too. And Reading paper the government get 59% of it all what a joke

 

[Teh Mite]

Sounds about right for a 40l tank plus a bit in the pipe.

Out of interest: Why is it that some countries still get Diesel cheeper? I'd buy a 320D today if it were around the £1.15 mark. That's save me an absolute bomb.

 

[dullonien]

Still worth getting a 320D imo. I've got one, great car, and it's all about the efficiency. I get an average of 50mpg and most of that is small trips through town to the supermarket and back, or short blasts on a-roads etc. If you do alot of motorway miles, it would be a doddle to get a much better mpg reading. The performance for that efficiency is great aswell, especially after installing a tuning box (£60 second hand off ebay). Quicker than the equivalent petrol model that's for sure, prooven the other day between round-abouts on the dual carriageway :unsure:

Still ****** off that diesel prices are more than petrol ones. I remember years ago when people were starting to switch over to diesel, diesel prices were much cheaper back then. Surely diesel drivers should be rewarded with cheaper prices considering it's better for the environment. Instead the government just saw an opportunity to make more money after everyone switched to diesel!!!

 

[munstermuffin]

Diesel always cheaper by 3-6cent here in Ireland. But usually you get hit with road tax as it's charged by size of car

Middle east tensions cause some of the rise, but the main spring is the bankster bailout - the boys in Wall Street, Frankfurt and the City were liberated from their own screw ups and insolvency. To recover thier protected position they use cheap money from our central banks to speculate on commodities, like oil, soybeans, wheat, rice.

This is crucial - they understand it, but we're too thick: the money source we vote for is being used to screw us.

We may whinge about high fuel prices, but people in Egypt/Tunisia/Libya know the pain of high food prices - they got off their arses to do something about it. And so the oil dictatorships are failing, hence the risk-on increase in the price of oil, which feeds in to the price of food. Perverse.

We need to hang the banksters. Otherwise we live in poverty, with rising costs and decreasing wages.

Brown's government said - "Shut uuup, the banks can't do enough". Cameron's government says - "Shut uuup, the banks have suffered enough".

Don't vote left. Don't vote right. Speak to your candidates, and ignore anyone who can't engage with you.

Agreed.

Corporate greed is ruining us, look no further...

Corporate includes state - state greed.

Any justification in the destruction of Ireland for the sake of French banks? German banks - UK - US? Any ******* bank? None.

But the state says Yes, otherwise the sytem would collapse. What system? Bailouts, pensions, subsidies, payola. Who has to pay for that? The young, the taxpayers of the future. But they can't cover those promises when they don't have the same privilege of access to the system.
