I get emailed price notification from BWOC and Red fuels on a friday teatime, how come, every week without fail, there prices are within 0.02p of each other? Is there some form of price fixing cartel going on? If this was BA and Virgin there,d be an inquiry!!
The price of crude oil has set a fresh record at $109.20, its fifth day in a row of historic highs.
This is depressing, u must be paying a fortune for yer diesel, how can you pass on yer costs when its rising every day ? Cant see many getting a weekly increase in their rate. Doom and Gloom the lot of it and its all created by fellow man!

Simple answer is we don’t - in fact the quarry were delighted to tell us that we are all imagining making less profit that before because their ‘computer model’ says we are actually doing the same as before.
January 07’ - 76ppl + VAT
Febuary 10th 08’ - 88.33ppl + VAT (16.2% rise in 13months )
March 9th 08’ - 94.73ppl + VAT (7.2% rise in 28 DAYS and a whopping 24.6% increase on January 2007’s price.)
At that rate (by my calculations) we will be paying 117.5ppl (+VAT), thats 138ppl at the pump, by next May and how much of the is tax? If it wasn’t so serious it would be funny!
Into my bulk tank 5000litres 12 march 97.45ppl, i should ring around but i dont want to pay COD it hurts the cash flow,thank god I got a week off at Easter.
Does anyone think the wholesale closing of petrol stations has played into the oil companies hands,we get uproar around here if the village pub or post office closes but these filling stations have gradually disappeared without a fuss,and some of the supermarkets have either banned trucks or made it awkward to get in. The guys using cards in our quarry struggle to get fuel some days
