Reading about the rises at the pumps and diesel costing £2.00 a litre, the companies raking in the profits!

Meanwhile out here in Tenerife, the great oil producing nation, it was €1.77 a litre.

RIP off Britain!🤔😡😎

€2.20 per litre here in Sicily, so similar to UK prices.

Ukraine is absolutely destroying loads of Russian refineries. And trumps escapade in Iran.... It`s taking its toll on all of us.

Russia`s oil is under UN sanctions so nobody should be buying it, therefore should have no effect on oil prices.

It has been pretty well documented that the Black Fleet is still in full-effect and states are still buying it. That`s why folk were a bit surprised at Modi`s words to Putin a couple of weeks ago.

Sky News have done some good work tracking some of the ships, including their accompanying warships which seem to kick out more fumes than the fuel on the carriers would provide.

Its nothing new. The oil companies got to keep those profits rolling. It just filters down the chain till the consumer cant purchase any fuel. Will one day become an issue when trucks cant get on the road due to no fuel/fuel costing too much.

Shell garage on Hendry Rd in Kirkcaldy was ALWAYS at least 10p a litre dearer than the supermarkets. Now they`re all the same....in fact Morrisons is 1p a litre dearer.

We`re getting shafted.

Sainsbury`s is a fraction cheaper than both DA and if you collect nectar points then all the better for value.

They just might as well be closed

Back then though Busspass a car was called a horseless carriage.

Doesn`t help keeping the costs down when you do what I did today......too busy trying to hit the 30.00 on the nose, didn`t notice it was the litres I was watching......costing £51.57 🤔

Aye, BPP, nostalgia ain`t what it used to be. 😁

I bought my first car, a Mini, in 1972. I used to fill it for £2. 😟
