Petrol price falling ,,, er nope Super grades margins actually have risen

katria

OK headlines  show Standard E10 petrol and normal diesel prices have fallen recently by about an average of 5-7%    however   price of Super unleaded 97,98 &99 octane  fuel have actually risen  , the differential  between normal 95 unleaded  and Super unleaded used to be about 15p  per litre   ,,   but recently Many of my friends  and I who have older motorcycles and vehicles  that only run on Super unleaded have noticed the price  differential  is now averaging 20 to as much as 35p  per  litre ,, other friend have said  higher grade diesel is also  showing similar trend.

This is sheer profiteering  and should be looked at  by Martins team and the media

"OK headlines  show Standard E10 petrol and normal diesel prices have fallen recently by about an average of 5-7% "

Possibly in some areas of the country, maybe with higher population density, but most certainly not elsewhere.

The Shell, Esso and Tesco locally have actually gone up in price for E10.

The E5 price difference/premium surely cannot be justified.

I do agree though, in my opinion too, it's blatant profiteering.

What is the percentage difference between E10 and super?  It has been between 10 and 20% for as long as I can remember.

It was always 10% round here   until recently now its 20%

This was done back in January, the prices may have dropped slightly from then but the principle is the same. The big supermarkets are still ripping us off when the indi garages can sell for less

In our area where there is competition from an Indi the price at Asda is £1.357, a nearby (under 5 miles) town with another Asda is £1.427 because there is no competition. That's quite a low variation, recently it has been as high as 15p difference.

I love the way that Supermarkets are being picked on in these cases, yet many branded filling stations in the same area are up to 10p more a ltr...
