Last Saturday the average UK price was £1.30.5 for diesel - that was from petrolprices.com. In Bishop's Stortford the price ranged from 128.9 to 132.9 p stgI know about low margins in fuel prices ordinarily. My point is that margin was increased exponentially during the lockdowns
The current UK price for diesel is £1.22 (€1.38)
A report from 2008 has no relevance to my point
All three components of fuel have gone in favour of the consumer in the last few days or so and most stations will be dropping substantially over the next few days. My local station dropped 10c this evening to 1.84 diesel 1.74 petrolIn case it helps anybody else.

I never understand this "ripoff" commentary that you hear from people.178c for diesel in Raheen Limerick yesterday, what a rip off.
I don't agree at all. 178.9 is pure rip off. Most of the garages around here are at 172.9 or 174.9 for diesel and that is expensive but 178.9 is pure rip off.I never understand this "ripoff" commentary that you hear from people.
Fuel prices are the most transparent consumer goods prices out there.
The raw material cost is on every financial website, the refining margins are on several easy to find websites, the exchange rates are everywhere, revenue give the precise tax levels, vat is 23% and then the balance is what the importer and retailer gets.
Then the fuel station must display their prices on huge lit up signs so you can see the price before pulling in.
There is no product out there that is more transparent in terms of price.
A station is doing well to take 8c a litre.
At 1.78, it might be 10c a litre. Hardly a rip off
Btw, a 500ml bottle of ballygowan costs 26c in Musgrave's, yet many places charge €2 for this - THAT'S a rip off.
My sentiment exactly using water as an example.I never understand this "ripoff" commentary that you hear from people.
