Petrol prices on the way up....
« on: 27 May 2009, 10:59 »
Hi..

Since trading in my Golf GTI on the 7/5/09, Today I've noticed petrol has go up to £1.10.9 a liter. The last time I filled my car up was probably a fortnight before and it was £1.00.9 .
So whats made it go up, Oil prices haven't change that much.
The price of diesel is only 1p now more. WHY ?
The above petrol is for the good stuff 98RON.

It just shows how much notice I pay to petrol prices.....I never noticed. :laugh:

I haven't seen anything in the news or budget related that would push prices up either. Perhaps it is just the usual ....petrol companies cashing in with their own increase?

No, crude oil prices has nudged over $60US for the first time in a while. This together with a poor exchange rate leads to increased pump prices.

I've noticed it mainly because I use 99-RON stuff from tescys or shell. Previously was below the 99p mark, then around 1/05 and going up still/.

Also the oil companies have significantly scaled back production to keep prices artificially high.
