"Currently Diesel costs about 107p/l whilst Unleaded petrol costs about 92p/l - 15p/litre difference! Last time U/L petrol cost 92p/l was in August 2007 and Diesel cost 94p/l - 2p/l difference! What is going on?"

"The cynic's view is that it's the government's continuing pretence at being 'green': diesel is more polluting. What is conveniently forgotten is that although it's more polluting per litre, it's less polluting per km (or so I understand it ...? ) making the prices a somewhat cynical way of obtaining more money (& I'm not even political!)"

"I am just wondering why it is that ALL of the stations in a given area [shell, bp, esso etc] seem to charge the same price. Do they 'conspire' with each other and fix a price so that they all get a good slice of the cake?????? If so, this must be illegal!!!"
