Petrol & Diesel prices on the increase?

jazzy

I have noticed today in my area petrol and diesel prices have increased by about 1p a litre at a number of garages. Is this happening nationwide?

In my town unleaded shot up 3p in on day last week they day crude oil spiked a little. WHAT A SHOCK TAKES DAYS TO REDUCE BUT INSTANT WHEN CRUDE GOES UP .

One of my local BP stations has gone up 6p / litre for petrol over the last week in stages. Was the cheapest around now one of the dearest.

Same here ... many stations have increased by 1p per litre. Unleaded varies between 104.9 and 106.9; diesel is 112.9 or 113.9 (as of this morning).

So where's the MSE post telling us that ASDA/TESCO/MORRISONS/SAINSBURYS have increased their fuel prices?

Is it not only ever Asda price cuts that get mentioned?

Round here the usual suspects BP/Esso/Shell have gone up around 3p at some,
Supermarkets and smaller garages seem to be holding steady though.

Yep, ASDA gone up 1p to 104.7p

Where is the all guns blazing press release on this?

Asda 109.7 and 102.7 here.

I think its a case of MSE receiving an email to announce their price cuts. I dont think they go out of their way to find out when the price cuts will be.

Either way, I have noticed an increase. Thankfully I filled up the day before which never normally happens. Its usually the day after.

The price of crude has spiked due to traders, the demand for oil is still relatively low, the US has more oil stockpiled than they've had since the 1930s.

Maybe they know something we don't?

Some analysts indicate prices will fall again as this is a "false bottom" to the market but what do they know?
