Current Red diesel prices around you ?

[Nickhlx]

With all the road diesel coming down ( around 110p/litre around here - central Southern England) I was surprised to see Red Diesel still at 95p/litre today on the canalside, and that seems to be what it has been for some weeks !

 

Has anyone noticed their suppliers dropping prices recently and what is it around you at the moment ?

marina`s wont drop there prices as they have a monopoly and a captive audience

I suppose so, but what will they price it at when the duty has to be added and white road diesel is say ? 105p/litre in a couple of weeks time ?

 

Already our local Tesco is 110.9 before the 5p per litre off voucher making it 105.9 now - albeit hassle for those not able / prepared to lug the cans...

Anglo Welsh at Tardebigge have dropped, it's been 73p per for the last few weeks. I'll be up there tanking up this weekend...

I paid 105 yesterday when I filled the car up.

Prices on the cut are very variable, when I filled the boat up 3 weeks ago at Calcutt it was well under 80 p

Yesterday we bought 300lts Diesel, a bottle of additive (£29) a pump-out and rinse (free) WWand C+R. The bill came to £227. So the diesel cost about £190, I'd have bought more but they ran out!

[mopatopper]

Red diesel is 46p per litre (+vat) wholesale today. - Marinas will be paying around that price if they order a fresh delivery but I guess they will not put the prices down if they have expensive stock around them!

[alan_fincher]

79 pence at Cow Roast marina (Tring summit, Grand Union) 2 days ago.

 

Generally towards the "lower end of the middle" price-wise if that makes any sense at all.

 

They reckon Herts & Middlesex just 5 miles down the cut are still at 95p, but I've not verified that.

 

If we see the "coal boats" when we are out in a few days, I'll post their price.

 

It's certainly true that some outlets are consistently very much more expensive that others. When we passed Whilton twice in the summer, the price was 95 pence in each direction - despite that being at least 10 pence more than we saw advertised anywhere else in a 330 mile journey. I think it's the captive audience at the Marina, many of who are not brave enough to go up Whilton locks, and look elsewhere.

Thanks guys, for the quick responses...

 

I can see that some may be using white diesel if its coming down much more and the physical side of it is within their capabilities ... It is a bit of a rip off to charge 40 to 50p over the cost ( around double ?) of the wholesale price....

 

After November 1st, I guess some will charge more than white for the convenience factor but I expect there will be some stiff opposition to it. Granted they have overheads but I guess the punters have options too...

 

It will be interesting to see what the tales coming back in a couple of weeks will be....

My mates taken his diesel stove out and fitted a Morso. Whoops! diesel prices going down and solid fuel prices going up.

It can be annoying and i am not defending the marina's etc.

 

Do remember that most forecourts sell a lot more than the local marina, the marina may have bought their diesel when the price was high and not yet had a new delivery.

 

Some forecourts have a delivery every day so can react quickly to price changes, whereas the marina cannot.

[covlad]

I don't think the mariners have the ability to make price drops inline with the gararge fore courts. I am sure they buy at a fixed price so if they brought at say 90p per ltr then they will not drop the price until the tank is dry and they top up with fuel at 40p per ltr. (we live in hope)

Was 80p/ltr at Aspley Wharf, Huddersfield the other day.

As have I but its still cheaper.

 

This does not include propulsion, that was another 600L

 

2007 diesel 1300L

2008 diesel 1000L

Coal for the winter (one tonne) £310 at summer prices (£410 now)

Diesel needs to drop to less than 31pL before I lose money

I paid 99p/lt at BoA marina two weeks ago. With my 5p off token it's 104.9p at my local Superfoodsulike. It's looking like it'll be a environmental disaster down round here as I couldn't buy a jerry can locally for love or money at the weekend. Apparently they're being bought up by "people what lives on boats" according to the serving youth in a Trowbridge shop.

Milton Keynes Marina was only 79.5p at the end of August when I last filled up. Don't know what they've dropped it to now.

[Liam]

Thorn Marine was 85p just before the middle of August, and they are now at 75p.

 

Derick was down not this weekend but last on Ambush and diesel was 66p. A month or so before that he was 76p.

Here on the Shropshire

Turners at Wheaton Aston id 62.9 ppl

Norbury Wharf (Where I am at present) 64.9 ppl

 

Both have come down in the last 7 days

[Athy]

Topped up last weekend for 58.5p per litre - but not from a marine-related business.

Blimey, that does make you think.

 

I'd like to be kind to other resellers, by suggesting that their much higher prices would relate to a seasonal downturn in sales, and that they may well be selling stock bought at higher wholesale prices.

 

But as I suspect there is a steady trade of people filling up before November 1st, that sounds a bit unlikely, and I'd expect most to still be turning over fair volumes, even though it's late October.

 

It certainly sounds like many are making well in excess of 20 ppl. Perhaps they will start to drop their margins after November 1st, if they start to find people are visiting Tesco, rather than them ? We can only hope!

[Triton]

Last week from nb Gosty Hill, 78 p per litre

[nbfiresprite]

Foxes Marina £1.10

 

After November 1st . Fuel at Propulsion rate only (£1.72) , Local Trading standards require second pump be installed if selling at two diffent duty rates.
