Diesel cheaper than Petrol
When did this happen? Filled up last night & I thought they'd mixed the prices up.
Petrol = 115.9
Diesel = 112.9
what next? cats living with dogs, Del Horno not injured?

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
I'm guessing you're from UK? Some changes in taxes or administrative fees (eco) or what?
... as far as I know, it's a normal thing outside of the UK.

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
According to my British friend it's old news, been two or three months like that... he doesn't drink water though, so take it with a pinch of salt.

I did actually notice Diesel was down a tad but haven't a scooby what Decaffeinated costs.

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
Stumbled across this whilst looking for something else.
I thought diesel was always cheaper than petrol until recent times - appears not.
Like murf's comment (which I agree with as a diesel owner) - made before we discovered what an evil fuel it really is.....
The 25p plus difference now isn't all about tax though is it?!

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
I think it used to be seen as cheaper as it goes further while the price per litre was similar, maybe higher service costs for diesel cars so tended to be value for those who do a lot of miles?

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
I think those days are gone too - not sure diesel does go further anymore (even without taking into account electric/hybrid engines). My petrol does the same as my diesel although it is half the engine size....
I've not noticed the diesel being more to service either - except when I used to go to the main dealer of course! No such thing as free coffee....

Re: Diesel cheaper than Petrol
Yeah, this was probably 10 or 20 years ago. Never driven a diesel myself other than courtesy cars and my dad’s, have never liked the feel/sound of them really.Jester wrote: ↑24 Nov 2022, 09:49I think those days are gone too - not sure diesel does go further anymore (even without taking into account electric/hybrid engines).
