how much do you pay a litre

[novait]

bored and shocked..just went to put petrol in the car and it was 112.9 a ltr the over day and now it is 115.9 a ltr. which isnt alot of petrol and alot of money when you have to run twin 40s.lol..

so was just wondering how much you pay..

[L33 LEG]

at the petrol station i work at, they put it up from 112.9 to 114.9 the other day, diesel went up by 3p. everytime i look at it its gone up :(

[Welsh Dan]

108.9 per litre for standard unleaded.

[novait]

how high will it go?

[big gra]

126.9 for diesel!!!

[novait]

think its 123.9 for diesel round here

[paulnova]

im getting my XE on the road soon....petrol is going to kill me, i get mine from L33LEG so its now 114.9p!!! :eek:

[Stuart]

tbh an XE in something as light as a Nova will get excellent mpg... if you dont thrash it everywhere.

I pay between 109.9 and 113.9ppl depending if I fill up at work or at home. Generally in the petrol station 3 times a week... stupid small fuel tank lol

[Dod]

€1.20 for Petrol, €1.36 for Diesel and about 70c per Litre for Vegetable Oil.

So it seems we're slightly cheaper than you lot!

[Matt2107]

£1.17 per ltr for vpower.

[NovaLad]

Supposed to be going up to as high as 1.50 a litre a few month off.

I pay around 1.08.9 or 1.09.9 a litre around my way.

[craig green]

Supposed to be going up to as high as 1.50 a litre a few month off.



Definately gotta pump up the tyres on my bike! lol

[paulnova]

its my first XE so a touch of thrashing will be inevitable lol lol

[L33 LEG]

i dont mind the price tbh, i feel better off when im serving people £110 to fill up theyre Q7s and the likes.

[novait]

1.50 a ltr...i do hope not..lol

[Adam]

£1.13/L i just paid for standard unleaded

[Jack]

£1.20ish i think, last time I had me some. Thats for SUL though.

Biobutanol is where its at. Whats the going rate for a vat of algae these days? :D

[Ste L]

109 here

[novait]

how high will it go? :(

[General Baxter]

why you think im using the nova not the troll, the troll has a 175ltr tank (extended explore thingy) and when i was using it it was about £1.10 a ltr,

that was a full tank every two weeks,

i live aprrox 1 mile from work and thats all it ever went lol

[novait]

lol bugger that.lol

[General Baxter]

overfueling 3L v6 twin turbo powerrrrrrrr lol

[novait]

sounds like fun. if you can run it....lol

[Jack]

how high will it go? :(
How much are you willing to pay - and I mean seriously willing to pay? What value would physically stop you from buying petrol (which for most car enthusiasts, I would assume to be because you can't actually afford to buy enough of it for your needs)? £2 alitre? £5 a litre? £10 a litre? Whatever value you put on petrol, thats how far it will go.

Fact of the matter is, oil is becoming vastly more expensive and won't get any cheaper - Its not the availability of the oil that will kill it - as there's plenty left - its the cost of actually getting to it. The price WILL keep going up until someone actually listens to the scientists and we switch to algae for fuel rather than drilling it out the ground or growing fields full of rapeseed and such which should instead be used for food. I doubt that will happen until oil has gotten so expensive we can't afford anything - can you think of anything you do/have that doesn't involve oil in any way, shape, or form, either directly or indirectly? I can't.

[novait]

very true. i love driving the nova so i will pay as much as i have to to drive it.. :D

[NatJK]

i pay £1.13. unleaded. just gone up today :(

[twistysnovagte]

109 heresame here.

[dave_bates]

They say 1.50 a litre by september, but the rate it's shooting up i can see diesel hitting that sooner.

the yanks are tring to find other sources's of oil to sort out the ****s in the far east and russia. And although this sounds a bit james bond like, my father in law is currently off the coast of angola working for the CIA on a guarded ship. he's a big nob geologist and let it slip what he's doing.....ssshhhh! doubt it will bring prices down though.

[Mike]

111p petrol
000p Deisel (works fuel card)

What i dont understand is, several years ago petrol hit 89p a liter and petrol blockades ran rife across the UK, its now at an all time high and the general public, haulier's & haulier associations dont do sh1t.

Oil companies hold the world to ransom, whatever they charge the vast majority will pay it.

[Jack]

They brought in a load of new laws and powers etc to stop that happening again. Suffice to say if any truckers tried to blockade the ports, they'd spend a night or two in the nick.

Most people pay the price as they have no alternative

Boo :(

[NovaLad]

It was 88p a litre when i had my moped back in 2006.

[_JH_]

At my local garage, I pay £1.20+ per litre to put diesel in my 110 Landy and petrol isn't far behind...


...and I can see the F***ING refineries from my house :mad:

Working up in the Black mountains 2 weeks back and diesel was 10pence cheaper around there FFS!

I never thought I'd say it, but thank **** for Tesco lol They're always a fair bit cheaper around here. Who cares if it's supposedly lower quality. It's an ex-Army 2.5 diesel, it'll burn anything lol

[dan16v]

Not sure, cant see the point in checking, either way you need fuel, just pull up and top the car up, no point being bothered about how much it is per ltr! either way you have to have fuel!! plus it bumps my shares uplol

Cant realy blame the oil refineries! it cost us about 30p to make a ltr!! and we dont make much on that!! most of it is fecking tax!!

I understand what you're saying, but when it affects your business you need to know or you could lose out :thumb:

I'm not. It costs less to deliver it here, so why should the retailers charge more?

[NovaLad]

Also when is someone going to edit the title of the thread from liter to litre?

[_JH_]

Another key issue...


lol

[CoolTiger]

1.10ish around here, my dad way telling me he promised him self he would stop driving when it hit £1 a gallon lol hes still driving

[Alex.]

Last time I went to sainsburys (2 weeks ago) and filled up it was £1.07 a litre.:(

[Stuart]

My cut off for leaving my job was £1.50 a litre but I got a nice fat pay rise yesterday so its bumped to £2 a litre now lol

[chris gsi]

i just filled up the trooper and it was £1.28 a litre its getting mad when it only does 18mpg

[Jim Mcrae]

Payed 118.9 for normal unleaded yesterday....

[Ash]

Filled a jerry can yesterday with super for the Nova - 128.9p!

Filled the car up and about 1/3 of it ended up on the workshop floor! :mad: (lose needle valve in the carb)

-What a great time to put a T40'd nova on the road. 13mpg here I come lol

[Philsutton]

Ive just seen £1.33 for diesel and £1.13 for petrol on the way to chilwell this morning. That is truely shocking. Also you cant just go an collect used cooking oil now for free, people are charging for it as it now as a value in comparison to other fuels. Its a joke and it was the wrong time to buy a 4.2L V8 TVR lol

[Jack]

I'll be in Chilwell tomorrow afternoon for a few days :D

[General Baxter]

well my troll will be back on the road next month, £1per ltr cooking oil lol


asda wont let me buy more then 75 ltr tho lol

[Dicko's]

wouldnt bother with V power for the nova tbh, its £1.09 here for normal unleaded

[Cormac]

was in bristol last friday and the cheapest diesal i could find was at asda for £1.19

Were i live its handy to hop over the border and get cheaper diesal in the republic of ireland, currently inc exchange rates about £1.06 for diesal and £1.02 for unleaded, theres not as much of a difference between petrol and diesal in rep for sum reason!!

[Dod]

Thats cuz we use it to run our Traccccors!!

The new Tax thing coming in has made Diesels much cheaper to tax so of co**** the price has hiked right up and will probably continue to do so.

[Lee]

I very much doubt the police would be able to lock up every trucker in the country if they decided enough was enough. They just all need to drive onto the nearest motorway and park up, blocking up the countrys arterys. Infact, to save any hassle, just park the buggers and walk away. It would take a fecking long time to tow that many lorries off the roads lol The only thing this would cause is a blockage for the emergency services, which just isnt on IMO, but at the end of the day, if the government are given fair warning of such a blockage, then knocking some of the duty off the fuel and adding it to road tax wouldnt be too difficult.

End of the day, would you rather pay an extra 150 - 200 quid a year road tax, or £1.50+ a liter? I know what I'd rather do!

Im going to have to say it again, we need to be more like the FRENCH and take the attitude that 'we're as mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore'!

[Jack]

Yes, but in England we couldn't organise a p!ss up in a brewery! lol

Some people would invetably be arrested for it, and nobody seems willing to run the risk of it being them. Look at the council tax shenanigans a while back, all these old people complained about it, and a few refused to pay and promptly got banged up (not like THAT :wtf:). There was no mass refusal to pay - if there had been, then yes the system would have collapsed.

Would YOU park your car on a motorway and leave it there for the police to pick up?

Come back Guy Fawkes, all is forgiven lol

[Lee]

Come back Guy Fawkes, all is forgiven lol

I would happily do it if I knew that hundreds of thousands of other people would do it too. I doubt the police would bother locking a few people up as that wouldnt solve the problem lol

As you said, it needs some strong organisation and some backbone from the british public.

[Dod]

Pffff, look at us. We're going to have to pay €2000 to tax all cars imported after July 1st regardless of car, size etc etc etc.

Europe as a whole is Nuts!!

[tom_beverley]

Someone organise a blockade quick :(

I'm beggining to think going back to petrol would be cheaper, theres 10p per litre difference now - diesel is average 122.9 here :mad:

[Philsutton]

^^ thats cheap to what im used to seeing, average is about 125 from what I see everyday :(

[Lauren]

Whatever it is, it's too much! I can't get petrol for under 112p per litre.

[tom_beverley]

lol When would anyone have guessed we would be say 122.9 is cheap LMFAO

Seriously though, something has to be done otherwise it will just keep going up and up but as said if tax is dropped for fuel they will add it on somewhere else :(

The problem at the minute is the extortionate price for oil, I wonder why all the oil companies are seeing record profits, fecking robbers.

[Lee]

Thats not the problem though. Its the duty!

[Stuart]

the "cost" of the fuel has gone up recently due to the oil prices though.... ok the Duty dosent help, but OPEC are restricting production to make it look like they cant keep up and therefore bump the price of a barrel and make more cash.

[General Baxter]

i paid, 39p per ltr today :)

[Philsutton]

Ghey

[General Baxter]

makro, 45ltr drums, rapeseed oil :)

[novait]

^^^^^^^
lol...its the way forward.lol

[Philsutton]

I bet that within a few weeks when that stock has gone the price will at a min double for that. Every other place has ive been using.

People are paying that a litre for waste oil at the moment so its only a matter of time until everyone else catches up.

[tom_beverley]

Local garages must have seen what you're paying Phil and its gone upto 125.9 round here overnight :(

Anyone up for a LPG conversion group buy? LOL

[Welsh Dan]

I fuel my bicycle with cornflakes :).

[Dod]

They pay for it? You have top pay to have it taken away over here!!

[Philsutton]

Look on ebay for waste cooking oil, seriously its fetching good money for something that you had to pay to get rid of not long ago.

[let_nova]

1.20ltr petrol and 1.32ltr for diesel
