Petrol 184.9 this afternoon

[Redlorryyellowlorryblue]

Petrol has gone up from 179.9 this morning where I am to 184.9 this afternoon! AIBU to think this is getting really worrying?

Fuck, that’s a huge leap in a few hours!

Its £1.90 here! Up from £1.70 this time last week.

I drove past our local station this morning and the unleaded was 187.9 🥴 absolute nightmare especially for those of us who work in the community and still only get 45p a mile.

@thenightsky wow! Where are you based?

Petrol has just overtaken diesel where I am at £1.91

I see I'm not the only one to be shocked at this, it's happened in our area today too.
I live in the east midlands where petrol is relatively cheap, there are still some Tesco stores with petrol at 164.9p. I went out this afternoon and found BP garages selling petrol at 184.9 when it had been 20p cheaper only yesterday. I filled up at Tesco, which has queues outside, I assume it will go up in price as soon as the next delivery arrives at the pumps....

It’s a nightmare, I work in the community and only get 25p a mile towards my costs.

Yep, my nearest has gone up 9p overnight to 185.9. Almost untenable.

Nah, it's all good. The wholesalers are making billions in profit each year so what's the problem?

North Lincolnshire.

Someone I know in the fuel trade told me last week to expect £2 litre by the end of June.

£2.02! per litre for E5 petrol in some parts of Surrey over jubilee weekend. V old car.

£1.91 at our nearest petrol station. Have seen it for £1.75 not too far away though. SE London.

It’s getting quite scary now. There was the time when they dropped the price by 5p/litre and that lasted all of a week. It’s becoming untenable for the average family.

Why the leap? Wholesale hasn't really changed?

God, this is really frightening. It’s crippling me to get to work and I’ve no option but to drive (shift worker and no public transport at start/finish times).

You can claim tax relief on the extra 20p from HMRC directly!

Yes it is really stressing me out I can only get to work by driving and have no idea how to afford it it keeps going up

My not that old car will only run on E5 😥

Same here OP 169.9 when I drove past the fuel station on my road at 7.30am, 174.9 when i drove back last at 13.30!

Somebody somewhere has no faith in the value of our currency, apparently.

Can't imagine why....

1.91 rural Northern Ireland this afternoon.

It won't be long until a full tank of fuel will be worth more than my car!

190p here, up from 186 end of last week. East of England

196.9 for both diesel and petrol at a garage in Glasgow. Average 187.9 for diesel and 10p less for petrol usually
