Diff Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Does any one know what the LPG cost are going to do with all the fuel rises I have seen a 10p rise over Dec and a further 5p in 2011.... Don't know when they will stop! I have seen the same, my only local LPG (Shell fuel station - 3 miles away) is now 82p a litre. There is no competition around here, so they seem to charge accordingly. I am seriously considering going diesel now. Regards, Diff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think your local filling station might be taking the pee - my local one has gone up from 59.9 to 64.9 in the last 4 or 5 months, not had to fill up for a while though, so don't know what it is with the VAT increase...

I do 25k a year in my 4lt P38 I fill up everyday with about £20 of LPG and when I started in April it was 62p on the A31 summerfeild. December it jumped from 62.9 to 64.9 then 66.9 then 68.9 during Dec but the BP next to work was around 72.9 last yr but was 85.9 in Poole this morning (I do have a 10p off with BP ) My local station which I rearly use as its not on my route for work was a Shell at 80p Yes the wife car is desel and I nearly took a photo in the way home as Unleaded was 135.9 and desail was 139.9 at the shell on the A31 in the new forest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 It is worrying indeed, the way the prices are going up and up. Hopefully LPG will stay cheaper than petrol for a while yet. My local Shell is 74.9 ppl, 8ppl more than BP - but my biggest problem of late has been availibility! My local Flogas depot told me there is a national gas shortage at the moment. My 2 nearest Shell stns have had no gas for 2 weeks now! So as I have to travel further to fill up, it all costs more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoltan Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I'm really hoping some of this price is seasonally derived demand. 80p a litre on the M20 in Kentshire last week. Time to start making biogas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denzil2a Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Filled up today with the new VAT rate for 70.26p per litre from local flogas depot. (Norfolk - east coast) Norwich was 77.9 just before new year. I think I will be mending the puncture on my trade bike soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reads90 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 The price of gas up for two reasons One is the cold winter in Europe and USA has made more demand and short supply The other is the fact the pound is pretty much worthless compared to what it was, and as the uk has to buy most of it fuel this cause a bit of problem. look at the pound against the Aussie dollar. Used to be £1 was worth $2.3 to $2.5. That was only a couple of years ago. Now today £1 is worth $1.55. That is a hell of a difference Ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm used to the pound being worth 12 - 13 South African Rand. It was worth 10.5 at the beginning of the week. Everything we import is costing us a lot more than previously. Doesn't help that interest rates are frozen at 0.5% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pwyll Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Just be grateful you don't live on the Isle of Wight. There is only one place to get LPG on the island and that is a plumbing shop. They were charging 75p/litre last time I was over there, and that was two years ago. Dread to think what the price is now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
q-rover Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 HIHI you live in the wrong country. A year ago here the £ was about 12.5Nok. It is now worth about 9.5Nok. Brilliant for me for buying LR parts. Maybe that's why my parents don't come and visit much these days... Petrol here costs about 13Nok at the moment.
