With oil now at around $95 a barrel, down from highs of $145, Hertingfordbury Service Station seem to be very slow to reduce their prices. Whilst Morrisons in Welwyn Garden City are down to 107.9p, Esso are still selling at 112.9p. Unfortunately they're the only filling station in town at the moment so there's little incentive for them to reduce prices.

Were they ever cheap? Never use the place myself so not particularly fussed. Having said that, with the BP currently flattened I would be in no hurry to cut my prices either if I ran the place!

I quite agree Leo, if there is no competition, why bother lowering prices. I had to go to Stevenage this morning and the Esso station at Broadwater (where presumably there is a little more competition)was only charging 109.9p.

I know that Bengeo was probably the dearest around for petrol and diesel,even though they now stopped selling petrol, the owner said he makes more money from letting the garage out to the second hand car/maintenance depo than selling petrol, this means another petrol station out of service to us all, when you count how many have gone in Hertford alone, no wonder we HAVE to pay 112.9p, they have cornered the market and it will only get worse, now that Rush Green is up for refurbishment AGAIN, there are even more motorists looking for there car juice..........

I used to use Bengeo as it was so convienient I know it was more epensive but when it is the one you pass it is easiest. I now have to remember to go to the Esso as most of my driving is done early mornings when and around the villages so the chances to fill up are few and far between. Getting the petrol and diesel cheaper would mean a special trip to Hatfiels/ WGC etc so not a svaing when you use fuel to get there! Thought I had done well at £1.10.? today obviously not!

Only £1.07 at Morrisons WGC today also, so I think the 5p a litre difference is a little exaggerated. However I think jez_p's observation about previous barrel v. pump prices is a very valid one and does suggest that the public in general is being ripped off by the oil companies.

Oil is now down to $89 a barrel. Despite the fall in the pound the AA reckon there's still a 15% drop due to be passed onto the motorist. The cynic in me suggests that now the oil companies have got us used to the £1+ litre they won't be dropping their prices too much.

A report on the AA website for petrol prices during December 2007 confirms that we are being ripped off. The price for a barrel of oil was over $90, but the South East average price at the pumps during that month was 103.1 a litre for unleaded and 108 a litre for diesel. But now the barrel price is back in the similar region the South East average price at the pumps is 113.4 a litre for unleaded and 124.8 a litre for diesel
Reply ID 55601
It's all because we've been used to paying it and wont complain. If everyone stopped buying fuel, supply & demand would see prices fall. But it's not going to happen because everyone will still buy fuel. It's the same reason why there is now a massive difference between the cost of diesel and unleaded. Dieselm has increased in popularity so they bang the price up to maximise on demand. The same as every business does.

Of course they are....Oil is now below $80 a barrel and yet Esso have not cut there prices. Blatant profit taking! Even Gordon Brown is calling for a drop in prices from the Petrol companies. Lets see how long it takes Esso (Hertford) to oblige, till then i will get my diesel elsewhere.

I hate to appear to be defending the petrol retailers, but I'd like to flag up a couple of pertinent facts. Firstly, the oil price quoted here by some people is for November delivery. Secondly, the price of the dollar has risen significantly over the last few months, offsetting the reduction in the barrel price.
Reply ID 55787
It seems that when the oil price increases the petrol retailers are quick to up their prices, but when it decreases they are not so quick in reducing them. I know they say they have stock that they purchased when it was at a higher price, so want to sell at the higher price, but why is that not relevant when the oil price decreases - we still suffer the cost.

Not having a liking or disliking to any particular argument, perhaps James has the same view of Esso that others may have on Starbucks for example. Didn't you say recently: "I never go ina Starbucks and if friends or colleagues suggest going to a Starbucks I will point out exactly why I will not. The more people who understand this company and their practices the better."?? Everyone has a view, a right to express it and a choice at the end of the day.

I think everyone on this forum started out wuith that view. They must be the only people in Hertford who don't go to Starbucks then, as it's always busy when I go. Wouldn't touch Serendipity with a barge pole. As for Esso, it's still 116.9p for diesel there this morning. I doubt te re-opening of the BP at Rush Green will make any difference either, seeing as they're the biggest rip-off merchants going. WGC Morissons or Hatfield Tesco for me every time.

$67.40 according to the times today, last time it was that price (May 2007) petrol was "only" 95.9p per litre. Esso just want it all ways, quick to put up prices and reluctant to pull them back down. Lack of local competition in Hertford has always meant that we've paid more than Harlow, WGC and Hatfield. So I'm off to Tesco in Hatfield,

Back to fuel. Profiteering is hard to judge as there are various reasons suggested to artificially inflate prices;- to control demand, to reduce consumption etc., though these really only make sense when applied to crude. There is one thing that gives the game away and that is diesel. When few people had diesel cars, demand was low and derv was cheaper than petrol. Now people have been persuaded that diesel is somehow more economical, or even "greener" (both not evidenced by the reality), demand is high and so is the comparitive price. Voting with one's feet (or tyres) is all very well, but the average car journey in the Uk is only 12 minutes in duration. If you have to drive even a few minutes extra just to get fuel, then any price advantage is lost.

Back to fuel. I have just driven to Rotterdam and back and the fuel price for unleaded was about 1.31 Euros per litre and diesel was about 1.16 Euros per litre so I dont quite understand why the price difference is the other way around in this country? And this was about the same in France, Holland and Belgium.

The Shell at Chiswell Green (by Junction 21A of the M25) had petrol at 97.9 Yesterday. Diesel was still 109.9 though Same as Tesco Hatfield. I am sure that Diesel used to be about 1p cheaper than unleaded then there was a small price blip but Diesel stayed up when unleaded came down. Diesel is now more expensive than Super Unleaded.

I think it is good that petrol is going up in price. It might make people think twice about short / unnecessary journeys. The roads are too busy as it is at the moment. Fair enough if you NEED to drive - but I bet most journeys could be walked/cycled or are not even needed.

The 4x4 women are generally swayed by fashion and image. If fashion changes (which I think it is) to being more environmentally aware, it will be 'cool' to walk/cycle to school. London attitudes are changing, so no doubt Hertford will be a few months (decades?) behind. As for the pensioners, the odd necessary short journey is not going to break the bank.

What a load of claptrap - how can an increase in a core commodity like fuel ever be good? Petrol/oil prices going up means that ALL consumer goods go up in price and we all get less for more money (inflation) and puts people and business under further pressure in a recessionary environment. As for other comments below about discouraging 4x4 drivers from their uneccessary journeys, do is the thinking amongst posters that someone who can afford the £50k+ for the latest Range Rover will be as sensitive to paying a few more quid at the pump as the "normal" family car driver? No, that just smacks of jealousy.... It's the people who have to drive to work for a living or who are going about their ordinary lawful business that pay at the pumps and pay again in the store and at home. There are much bigger environmental fish to fry than continually hitting on the ordinary British motorist...

quote:Relatively few people drive for a living. There are many more who perhaps choose their place of residence based on the ability to drive to work, rather than the convenience of other means. It is this which could be an argument for price limiting use. There is some evidence that it works too, as our railways now face a crisis of capacity, rather than one of under use. True it will never touch the very rich, but the very rich are not the bulk of the problem, just a visible annoyance. I don't relish the prospect, but recession and high fuel prices may force us back to positioning work where there is a workforce, manufacturing near point of delivery, and vice-versa. Ultimately, efficiency is born of hardship.
