What's with the fuel prices! And cheap whisky, apparently ...

It's been dropping at my local over the last two weeks, 1.38, 1.36, 1.33 now 1.31 for E10
Currently 1.34 for diesel
E5 is usually 10p litre dearer than E10

The best thing about Aspen is it doesn't go off. So you don't need to drain the tank over winter. Personally I just drain the tank on all my machines, although I do think using the "Super Unleaded" is worth the extra cost during the seasons of use.

I've had my mower 12 years now, it's been run on supermarket unleaded and I never think to drain the tank, though I do try to keep it low, ie. only fill a small amount each time, maybe about 1/4 tank for our lawn or 1/3 if the grass is long. I had to clean out the carb once but it's still running on the same oil and plug and still starts first pull.

£1.43 in Morrison’s five days ago (diesel - Fort William).

This is the garden machinery usage regime I use.

Only certain pumps had petrol at 2 local supermarkets is this the start of a petrol shortage caused by the unrest in the middle east ?

I was just wondering that as soon as I read this mornings headlines. Either it will shoot up to £1.80/L as we saw a while ago, or there will be huge queues of people wanting to hoard fuel again

Probably people getting a fill up before prices shoot up following the crude price rise. Which is of course indirectly caused by the unrest, but not actually a shortage as such.

Filled up the camper today just in case Israel hits Irans oil production infrastructure and prices go nuts.

Seemed rather busy in the fuel forecourt, can't think why!

Here we go again. Stupidity artifically causing shortages.

Wednesday 16th

Whilst heading back to the A1, from Masham (North Yorkshire), we passed ‘Leeming Services’ as we joined southbound
It looked like McDonalds was selling fuel!!
(prices were on it yesterday)
I didn’t get chance to stop to take a photograph, but this is from ‘Instant Streetview’
