So Pleased I'm still using Bio
« on: March 11, 2026, 09:32:41 AM »
Couldn't believe how fast the pump prices have risen due to the present middle east situation.

Bio still being used for my Renault Traffic van B100, 2015 octavia ( 2 to 1 blend derv/bio) and kero/bio blend for the heating.

On Saturday I was down in Brighton and a Texico was charging £1.84.9 PL (and only cash), yet a Texico on the A23 outside Brighton was £1.51.9
I think someone was cashing in, nice little earner if you can skim 30p off every litre.

This was made worse by my remembering the next day I had 400 litres of bio in the shed waiting for the Land Rover to go back on the road.  If Donald continues to fuck up the world economy I'll have to start using it.

It is just robbery at the pumps, especially when the oil that the petrol/diesel was produced from that is now on sale was bought ages ago. But then the oil business is a rip of cartel, always has been and will be. Glad I'm still on bio with a good oil source.

I totally agree. The 'greed' factor is even worse with Heating Oil. We bought an extra 500 litres just before the price hike at about 60ppl. 2 days later it was 142.9  Absolute Robbery.
