Yes, such items on the news are a great motivation for service stations
to increase the price because the public are expecting them to do just that.

In that case, Tesco in Winchester and Evesham didn't disappoint me with
their extra 1ppl on diesel!

When the problems were first announced (Tuesday, was it?), all day long
London's local radio station, LBC, was putting out strident headline FUD
news every 15 minutes, saying that fuel prices were expected to rise
considerably. This was despite several statements that there were
contingency plans in hand, that various negotiations were underway with
other companies interested in taking one the refinery, and that there
should be no significant disruption to supplies.

Opportunism? It has gone up in The Netherlands too. Fear of a
blockade?
Fuel prices are here.

I was interested to see the price of fuel in France and Belgium at the
moment but, as well as being grossly out of date, all it says is: "The
UK has the seventh highest petrol price in Europe and the second highest
diesel price."

I think you'll find that Tesco rarely disappoint when it comes to taking
your money...

Having just got back from 3 weeks in Malta, I was intrigued to note that
Diesel is cheaper than Petrol there! Presumeably a government subsidy thing?

I may be wrong, but is not the UKofGB&NI the only EU member state
where diesel is more expensive?
