Price of diesel in your area?

£1.71.9 for Diesel by my work at the Shell garage on the East Lancs Rd in suburban Liverpool. £1.72.9 at various service stations on the M6. Make it make sense!!!
 
That's the same price (without VAT) as a 22 plate Id Buzz panel van at our local VW commercial dealer, virtually the same battery capacity but a bit fugly but realistically a lot better value than a 25 plate Buzz... sadly our 67 plate camper will soldier on a bit longer. :geek:
If it were a choice between that and a new Transitporter, I might go for that.

If it's going to be ugly, might as well go for reliable and ugly.

Thats looks so cheap and nasty. Coming to a town centre near you shortly as an Uber!!

I saw a grey metallic panel van on someone's driveway just round the corner and it looked vaguely like the old smiley face Transit but slightly larger all round and built by Bang & Olufsen instead of Ford.
Anyway following that sighting and a search on Huge Choob....
Not sure if it's real or AI slop but I reckon it looks pretty good but then I'm a pensioner and normally watch cat videos. :whistle:

He's left his lights on.

Hope his battery wasn't flat in the morning 🤔
 
The Service Stations on the A1 at Washington, Tyne and Wear are normally at least 20p more expensive than anywhere else. I bet they may be around £2.00 now
 
£1.62.9 in Middlewich & Holmes Chapel, and there was I thinking bobbin rastards, but compared to £1.89 🤬

...and while the government are making noises about not wanting consumers ripped off they're secretly loving the increased tax, duty, and windfall tax revenues this is pouring into the treasury.

I’m never convinced the income they get covers the expenditure related to burning fossil fuels.
The harm to human health and therefore cost to the NHS just from air pollution is massive.
Then there is flood damage that pops up more frequently now. Some of this will be covered by insurance (if it’s the first time it’s happened) and some by property or business owners themselves but infrastructure damage, even if initially covered by local authorities, often leads to bail outs.
To some extent migration is a result of climate change too - it is displacing people from some areas and this has knock on effects, usually with violence which then displaces others and so on.

It’s just like Donny boasting how flattening Iran has boosted US oil sales (and those of Russia). Yes it might have brought in $6bn extra dollars in the first week but… it cost an extra $11 bn.

I don’t think politicians are able to link these things together. Too busy seeing what’s in it for themselves.

I'm going to stick to the rules on politics - it's a no go zone on the T6 Forum.

Ultimately it doesnt, but no government - other than perhaps the Chinese - can plan long term and make it stick because all theyre really interested in is keeping their cushy jobs at the next election. All Rachel Thieves cares about is the short term boost its bring her - she could give a sheet about a thread decades in the future.

Over periods of time measured by parliaments they coin it, but humanity will be paying the financial price for centuries after theyve stopped burning the stuff. Ultimately it will have cost humankind very dearly.
 
And guess where a third of the world's urea comes from? You can guess what's going to rocket up in price next.
