119.9p/litre in my local ASDAs. The price increases and differential from petrol, whilst unwelcome, is still not enough to make me regret changing from a 1.8 petrol (35mpg and £200+ VED) to a 1.4 diesel (54mpg and £30 VED).The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life.

"Northern Ireland and London remain the most expensive areas for petrol at 119.7p a litre."
I take it the researchers of the article ignored Scotland in their highest price region calculations? Up here in Orkney it's around 129.9p per litre for petrol, diesel is higher still.0 -
In Shetland diesel is 134.9 (from the cheapest petrol station, some are more expensive).0

WOW !
I still rememebr the days of 70p a litre. (only 28

Fuel is stupidly pricey these days. Why won't this governemt give up. I'm seriously thinking of going Bio-diesel. I'd rather the car smell like a chip shop than pay even more of my hard earned money into their fat hands. It's not as if i don't give them enough out of my poxy wages as it isIf Adam and Eve were created first

My first Gallon was 37p 4.55 litres so 8.13p a litre. in an old Austin Cambridge.
Filled the tank for £5.50 Mind you only earned £14. Diesel was half the price of petrol then to!:(0 -

When I first passed my test it was £1.70 a gallon, filled my old Nova for less than £20. It's now 5p a litre more for diesel around here, but still worth it as I get around 55-60mpg.:A0

There's limited refinery capacity to refine diesel and only 20ish% of a barrel of oil will produce diesel compared to 45% of petrol. Factor in higher demand for heating oil for fuel and prices at the start of winter will rise.The man without a signature.0
