Diesel seems to be up 6p/litre in the last 2 weeks round my way and we
are back at May 11 prices. from 132.9p-138.9p at the supermarkets
Dollar exchange and crude prices seem to be fairly stable in that period
so whats up now?

i have noticed they usually put the prices down for a week or so, then bring
it back up at penny every 2 days till it's more than it was before,

136.9 @ Tesco Carlisle this afternoon. 'twas 140.9 during April but
fell through May to 136.9 at the start of June, fairly stable since.
ie up to 137.9 down to 135.9.

Spot on. *******s.

Whilst on the subject: anyone noticed the price of "creosote"
(Creocote, Creoseal, etc)? It's now 6.50 for 4 litres around here --
was an-already-scandalous 4.50 a few months ago. I saw that B&Q have it
at "Only"[1] £9.80 for 4 litres at the moment. When I asked a dealer
about the price he said: "well it's based on oil isn't it - oil's gone
up". Good job diesel/petrol hasn't gone up by the same amount in the
last year.

General point: I think the time has come in global economics when the
corporations have finally realised that they have become so powerful
that they can do whatever they jolly well please -- and screw "the
market".

[1] B&Q put "Only" in front of *all* of their prices. Not a very high
opinion of the intelligence of the average B&Q shopper, then.

Shell have 2 stations here about 1/2 mile apart. They have just dug up
the forecourt of the distant one and put up the price on the near one to
142.9, so I now have to drive a few miles to where it's still 138.9. And
we are almost near enough to smell the refinery.

Why have all the refineries been being sold off by the likes of Shell &
BP. There must be something they are not saying.

And did anyone hear that Shell man today saying they had made record
profits (5 billion?) ,but the price would have to keep going up?

But Tesco put it up by 5p litre just before they have a "get 5p/litre
off if you spend £50 in the store" offer.
