What are you paying for petrol?

Recommended Posts

Just been reading the post on the fuel shortages next week and it got me thinking, I wonder what the variation in fuel prices is like across the UK. I'll start....

 

Aberdeen

Super Unleaded 96.9 @ Shell

Unleaded 93.9 @ Shell

 

Seems reasonably cheap, was paying 99.9@Shell in Wakefield for my Optimax. :(

102.9 for V-Power in Chesterfield.

 

I filled the pickup with diesel at work two weeks ago, 60 litres for 12 Saudi Riyals. Exchange rate 7.6 Saudi Riyals to £1.00. Petrol doesn't cost a deal more, are we getting ripped or what???

Jeeze, how cheap is fuel you're way?!!!

 

Tesco's 99 seems to fluctuate in Cardiff from anything between 96.9 - 99.9.

I think Aberdeen is one of, if not, the cheapest place in the UK. Its the oil capital of Europe so I dont think we pay the premium for transporting the fuel over long distances....

This is what I translated a bit.

 

» US Spec Corrado Tank: ~18 gallons = ~68 liters

» US Spec VR6 Miles per Gallon(MPG): ~25MPG = ~28.3 Euro VR6

 

91 Unleaded (Highest Octane) = ~$4 USD a gallon = 195 pence or ~£2 a gallon

 

So uhh.. We pay about $60 for a full tank so about 2929 pence or £30

 

Lasts about 300-400 Miles which is 483km-644km...

 

So, about 2,929pence(p?) or £30 to go ~563km

I'm guessing it's the same 70 litre tank that we've got here. The dollar's about half a pound at the moment, so call it £30 for a fill up. Or in other words 43p/litre :(

Yeah, but that's only for 91 RON. Think of how sluggish your VR would feel! Plus the government picks up the rest of the tab, and how do governments make their money? Taxes.

The US use an RdON rating that is calculated differently to our RON values, so their 91 is the same as our 95.

But yeah, it is depressing how much of it actually gets swallowed by the government - the actual price of the fuel is only about 30p/litre.
