Heating oil is 134.90 pence per litre this morning. Up from 57.00 pence per litre two weeks ago.
Right, the central heating is already off, but water heating now changes to electric for a while at The Coven. Thank goodness we have a huge wood pile (the old roof timbers) and are on a fixed price electric tariff until November.
We were planning to have a week in the Scottish Highlands at the end of the month. I think that’s getting cancelled now, as, even from here, it is a 500 mile round trip, and fuel stations are few and far between and may not have fuel by then. I wonder how delivery companies are going to cope?
We haven’t been out to know if petrol and diesel have gone up in price at the pumps. The internet says that petrol is averaging 132.9ppl, but that seems like last week’s price (plus much of the price of petrol is tax anyway). Maybe it’s just the heating oil suppliers who are profiteering?

Petrol has gone up 5p here. There’s a great petrol price app that gives you all the local pump prices and when they were last updated. It’s always a bit cheaper in Yeovil for some reason.

Petrol was always cheaper in Yeovil even when I lived in the SW through the 1980s Debster. Plus ca change! Interestingly, petrol is generally a bit cheaper in the Scottish Borders that is is here.

Up 5p overnight in Cornwall as well. AND some naughty ones are not reporting the increases to fuel-finder as required. Yes, Asda, I have just reported you on the gov website.
