Nicepix 5,650 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I think that we are just going to have to get used to it. Oil prices aren't going to drop even after the conflict is over. Unless the government are prepared to drop their cut on fuel duty then everything will increase in price as everything is delivered by road. And the government have been trying to cut road usage for decades so I don't think they will help motorists. They are wanting householders to change to green heating so I can't see them subsidising gas and heating oil prices. I do over 40k miles a year on business. My diesel bill is now half as much again and diesel was already the biggest expense. I can't pass the cost on as many of my customers are feeling the pinch too. I will just have to cut out the ones that involve more travelling and replace them with clients nearer to home. Some of them I have known for 8 years and become friends with, but needs must. Our heating oil is now double what it was two years ago. We are going to bite the bullet and change to wood pellets while there are grants and subsidies available. Times are going to get harder so we might as well prepare for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Borr 5,851 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 It's been fluctuating wildly in the same day, whether news from Saudi or Russia/USA . Hopefully they'll release a load and drop the price.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paki Texaco in town is a penny cheaper. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nicepix 5,650 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 It ain't going to get any better soon. All those countries who were relying on Russion gas and oil will be competing for the stuff from elsewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
