jimbms Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Fantastic so we now know the prices of petrol in some of the densest populated areas of the UK, did you bother to check remote areas that would have comparable costs of getting fuel to the area etc as the IoM, i.e. Your search for Bangor found 18 petrol stations within 10 miles. The Highest price in this area for unleaded: 125.90p The Average price in this area for unleaded: 124.40p The Lowest price in this area for unleaded: 122.90p Your search for Portree found 2 petrol stations within 10 miles. The Highest price in this area for unleaded: 129.10p The Average price in this area for unleaded: 129.10p The Lowest price in this area for unleaded: 129.10p Your search for Coll found 5 petrol stations within 10 miles. The Highest price in this area for unleaded: 136.90p The Average price in this area for unleaded: 136.90p The Lowest price in this area for unleaded: 136.90p Your search for Campbeltown found 1 petrol station within 10 miles. The Highest price in this area for unleaded: 126.90p The Average price in this area for unleaded: 126.90p The Lowest price in this area for unleaded: 126.90p Oh lookee the Isle of man is not so bad after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manshimajin Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 Oh lookee the Isle of man is not so bad after all Those wonders of economics, the OFT, said that our prices should be UK average plus 4 ppl. I leave you to calculate what that comes to but it is not Coll or Portree prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbms Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 maybe not but if we compare to [places of equal population density it does Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDave Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 According to the AA's Fuel Price report for this month the UK averages are: 122.1 ppl for Regular Unleaded 129.4 ppl for Super Unleaded 126.2 ppl for Diesel So by the OFT's reckoning IOM prices should be roughly: 126.1 ppl for Regular Unleaded 133.4 ppl for Super Unleaded 130.2 ppl for Diesel I paid 126.9 ppl for regular unleaded at Raymotors on Xmas Eve - that's 4.8 ppl above UK average, so within a penny of what the OFT reckon we should be paying. What are the local prices for super and diesel at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EORH Posted January 4, 2011 Author Share Posted January 4, 2011 So we were told on granada reports IOM highest by a lot Yes it was reported that it was 132.9 a litre for petrol,now it was 126.9 so a rise in fuel duty of 0.76p on the 1st Jan,plus the vat rise of 2.45p works out at 3.21p in total which is 129 odd,not 131/132,the retailers have slapped a rise on for themselves of 2/3p,this seems to be common practice every time the taxes rise so does their profits,so what has the useless OFT got to say,not another report for CO-MIN.

I agree - the figures don't make sense - to get 137.9 for diesel would be a starting figure of 135.0p a litre before increasing the VAT - do they think we are too stupid to do the maths? The fuel companies are ripping us off again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fuel companies are ripping us off again. and petrol price is right, base line of 108.9 add 20% add 0,75 and it comes out at 131.9-132.9 derv but the starting figures was 133.9 for the past 2 weeks by my fuel bills. so they have added 4 ppl on which is 137.9 simples really. so not sure where your getting your 1.26 from. fuel at 133.9 - the fuel with no vat is 113.9 old rate 113.9 add the 20% vat is 136.68, round that up to 136.9, add in the tax of 0.75p and that gets rounded up to 1ppl which gives you the range of 137.9. so price for derv is between 136.9-138.9. so yes maybe they do think your too stupid to do the maths?

If you mean 135.0 -it is what you get if you take the VAT of 20% off 137.9 and replace it with 17.5% fuel at 133.9 - the fuel with no vat is 113.9 old rate 113.9 add the 20% vat is 136.68, round that up to 136.9, add in the tax of 0.75p and that gets rounded up to 1ppl which gives you the range of 137.9. so price for derv is between 136.9-138.9. so yes maybe they do think your too stupid to do the maths? When I was taught maths I was taught to only round figures at the end of a calculation not several times during it! I do not see the necessity for prices to always end in .9 - it is ripping us off!

When I bought petrol on the 28th December 2010 the price on the pump was 126.9 a litre,now its either 131.9 or 132.9 a litre,that is the total price everybody sees not a mix of figures which you have shown,we know that somewhere in the total price there is a fuel tax and vat,but as was the news,fuel tax went up by 0.76p and vat by 2.35p,this does not add up to 4 or 5 pence. fuel at 133.9 - the fuel with no vat is 113.9 old rate 113.9 add the 20% vat is 136.68, round that up to 136.9, add in the tax of 0.75p and that gets rounded up to 1ppl which gives you the range of 137.9. so price for derv is between 136.9-138.9. so yes maybe they do think your too stupid to do the maths?
