So what did you think of the response...?

Wouldn't it be nice if they stop screwing the Diesel users and get it back to within a couple of pence of Petrol like it used to be? 92.9 is lovely, but right underneath it you can still see 106.9. 14p a litre a difference?!

Good point. Fully fledged BASTARD of a good point.

It went up a lot more than unleaded, and it hasn't dropped as much - I think thats the point.
#365422
But it if went up more, then for it to drop at the same rate it would inevitably not drop as much, example :

Month ago : Diesel 118.9
Unleaded 107.9

Minus 10%

Now : Diesel 107.01
Unleaded 97.11

There's only a couple percent in it.

But the point is that it went up more - for no reason thats been explained. I would like to know why the increase on diesel was so much higher than on unleaded.
#365425
Fair enough, i thought it was because diesel users were easier to exploit as a majority are truckers etc and need the fuel for work, so cutting their supply a bit would ensure the demand to go up - driving the price up more easily than in the unleaded community.

I also thought that diesel was more economical than petrol therefore you pay more but it lasts longer so we all end up paying the same......

It's supposed to be better for your engine, but it's a * con. It's like buying Heinz or Tesco baked beans - cover the label up and no one can tell the difference.

Absolute waste of money, unless the engine management system can identify the higher octane/higher quality fuel. People say they get a smoother ride using super unleaded, as the fuel burns more efficiently, but it's probably all in the mind in my opinion.

If you have a car that takes unleaded, you can use either normal unleaded, premium unleaded or a mixture of the two.

Just don't put diesel in it.
