As long as I can find the cash I’ll keep booking caravan trips, I’ve got a week booked in May and I’ve just booked a 3 week summer break so off to a good start on this years time away, I’m pretty much retired now, I’m self employed and pick and choose which jobs I take to a degree but there is also less work available so I don’t have to say no to much work, our bungalow is mortgage free and should we need extra cash I’d soon take equity from it, my kids are more than wealthy enough and have always said they wouldn’t want us to scrimp just so we could leave it to them and I’d soon take the equity.

It’s surprising how the economy increases just sitting at 54 mph and sticking with the HGVs and minimising overtaking on the motorway.

Enjoy your trip.
I have long since regarded fuel stations as unpaid tax collectors collecting vast amounts of revenue for governments.
Distribution of fuel is almost a secondary task!
£1/litre where I am at the moment

I notice that despite oil prices now jumping again to $110 some ten tanker loads of Russian oil available for mid March have not received buying bids despite energy products not being directly sanctioned. It seems buyers are avoiding it for corporate reasons,, ship owners are refusing to embark, and insurers not willing to provide risk cover. Thats one reason for what seems to have prompted todays jump in barrel prices.

It's also got difficult for Russian businesses to get paid as sanctions have blocked many payment methods.

A local esso closest to us is charging £1.659 for diesel. However the Esso we normally use as by the supermarkets is now £1.599 for diesel and unleaded is £1.57. Morrisons just down the road are charging the same price!
I am so glad we filled up last week on Thursday at £1.529 for diesel and £1.489 for unleaded. We get a 4p discount per litre whether diesel or unleaded.

Thats a huge difference. No idea why but I saw people posting one pound fifty odd here yesterday so thought I would fill up before our price went through the roof. Not that it lasts long in a Santa Fe
Im in the North West Leicestershire villages. Maybe they didn't get the memo but there were big queues yesterday and my mum said they had run out of fuel there in the morning but had a delivery late afternoon.
I suppose it goes some way to offset the £1000 a year increase to my energy bill 😭

Just checked for diesel prices in Stourport. At Sainsburys Esso it is £1.599. This is a stand alone fuel staion with the Sainsbury shop in it. Just around the corner at the other Esso station which has a Morrisons store in it diesel is £1.509? This according to the Petrol prices app which relies on people updating the app.
Whoopee for me also got a pension RISE 25p week need a few weeks pension then can afford extra litre of fuel.
