Why is it that only petrol prices drop and not diesel. If diesel is cheaper to produce because its less refined it should be cheaper in the first place. Is it because more diesel is being sold than petrol hence more profit ? ???
I agree about diesel. I once audited a petrol distributer's accounts and discovered 2 my horror that it was on diesel that they made their money. It's a rip off and its Jo public who pays through higher freight transporting charges = higher prices in the shops!!
Diesel does'nt seem to have gone down at our local Asda, only petrol.
A lot of filling stations sell 'Low Sulpher', and 'City Diesel' now, they are supposed to be better for the environment, but not so good for your engine
- but this Evil Government does'nt take less Duty on them!!!

With typical timing, I filled up my Freelander at Tesco's, jumped back in the car and then heard the report about Asda's. I hope this doesn't set the tone for my luck in 2005!!
I agree with other Money savers. always petrol thats cut never diesel. Also I drive a so called performance car and have yet to find any Supemarket petrol station that sells SUPER UNLEADED.
needed to fill up so jumped in the car to morrisons only to find that the diesel hadn't budged . not a happy cookie
Rediculous. Here I am having sold my petrol car in order to save a few pennys a week by using diesel and yet the supermarkets here are litterally encouraging people to use petrol instead of diesel !!!! Aaarrrggggggghhhh!!!!!
In reality they should be reducing diesel INSTEAD of petrol as it would lead to cheaper distribution of goods and more money in everyones pockets.
Ideally though, the goverment should stop taxing biodiesel and encourage people to use enviromentally friendly fuels such as that.
Having read all the comments regarding price of diesel compared to petrol etc, and how angry you seem, I cannot help but wonder why you are not faxing your MP to complain about this contradiction. If the government are so keen to improve our environment, why does this inconsistency continue?
I would really like to get all your comments together and bombard my MP, but as this violates copyright, I can’t.
So for goodness sake, throw all you disgust at your MP at - Fax Your MP. http://www.faxyourmp.com/index.php3

I remember being a kid and fuel being about 56p a ltr, them old days where you got Green Stamps each time you went to the Burma garage....
Oh the days..
I do alot of miles each weekend, mainly a weekend commuter as of being in the HM Forces..so to now be able to get cheaper petrol is good, but their are many single garages that are selling fuel for 85p a ltr for petrol...now these are the ones that should be dropping the fuel..
I think we need the fuel protests again, everyone stock up..and do it again..
I agree as a diesel driver we should not miss out on this reduction! don't think it is worth getting in touch with the MP though, they are all a waste of time. Will email Tesco, Asda etc as they need to realise that they are losing out, there are loads of diesel users out there. >
