Tarne 2,511 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 At $55 a barrel, we'd be looking at I guess a doubling of fuel price if it got to the $125 levels of recent years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

John Wright 9,068 Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 An increase in raw material cost of 30% and a drop in the Sterling Dollar rate of 20% since the prices reached lowest in late spring 2016 has seen a 15% price rise at the pumps. The rest is tax, come what may. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roger Mexico 10,799 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 (edited) Just driving into Douglas and from quarterbridge the prise goes from £122.9 - £125.9. Luckily we have the OFT looking out for us and will sort this out. Once upon a time there was an ancient and venerable thread on this topic dating back into the forgotten mists of time (2010). And it went on discussing it.

Cambon 1,166 Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Yeah? No. the current hike is still mply due to IOM buying at the bottom of the GGP USD exchange rate. A shame. Winter is the cheapest time and lowest price for petrol. Let's hope they buy our summer allocation soon while Gasoline is cheap, and the exchange rate has improved!

Non-Believer 13,312 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 And now the Chair of the OFT says the difference in petrol prices between here and UK is all just a "matter of perception" (Courier today). Tossers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
