Diesel Prices

[andy59]

Just checked red diesel price at the marina and it is currently £1.78 60/40 split , with is the same as our local Esso fourcort for road diesel ! , so no difference now. Is everyone else seeing similar ?. I understand what's going on re oil at the mo but have never seen red diesel the same price as road diesel before .

£1.66 in Cowes for diesel 60/40 but £2.10 for petrol, E10 only.

I paid £1.47 per litre diesel today gosport premier marina, berth holders it was £1.22. Petrol £1.97 !

 

[andy59]

£1.47 is a lot better than £1.78 !. Must be the Lymington premium we have to pay ?

 

[Frederick911]

I was expecting to pay though the teeth, it was nice surprise! Sure it will go up

Thats not bad OG, do they do it on a 60/40 basis ?. It would be interesting to know the tanker price of red now because the building / agriculture industries can't use it anymore . I guess the marinas have taken on the petrol station principal of " up like a rocket and down like a feather ". Anyway, none of us bought these toys to save money

London canal price around 1.40 non-propulsion

A mandated split is not legal (tho many try) - try reporting them to HMRC

If white is cheaper, I'll switch. Luckily have a little reserve to last thru April

This mornings price on the marina pump was £1.91 for red (which will be the 60/40 split price) . £2 for petrol.

£1.91 for 60/40! I can buy full road duty white for £1.71.

That’s my point really, if 40% is lower duty compared to road fuel then the base cost of red must be higher now ? ?‍, or waterside fuel sellers are having our pants down!

That is @ 60/40.
somebody filled up with the last of 89p stuff a day or so ago.

I thought rallying was getting expensive .

 

[chillee]

Ouch.. I just filled up my car with Diesel at Asda for 1.70. Not sure I fancy carting a load of Jerry cans down to my boat though.

 

[andy59]

So probably heading over to Guernsey in may, Rubis fuel @st Sampson’s currently 81p litre for red

 

[Farmer Piles]

Red to me on the farm is 113.5ppl. It was 99p on 4th March, 121 on 11th March, 117 last Friday and now the 113. Definitely on a downward slide for now.

 

[The Q]

On the Norfolk Broads it varies from yard to yard.
But the things to remember are..
Boat yards don't sell anywhere near the amount of fuel a petrol station does, therefore..

They have to pay more themselves, as they buy less..
They have to spread their fixed costs over the fewer gallons sold..

 

[madabouttheboat]

They have to pay more themselves, as they buy less..

This is a myth. I used to purchase red diesel for a boat yard. It was always cheaper, per litre, to get 500 litres than 5000 litres. If you buy over 2500 litres, you have to pay a higher rate of VAT for a start. Then there is the extra logistics of ordering large quantities.

 

[The Q]

You're talking about the open market price for a tanker or less.... the Big supermarket chains and fuel station chains have their own deals which get a much bigger discount than would have been offered for a small boat yard what ever the size of tank they had..

£1.91 for 60/40! I can buy full road duty white for £1.71.

So can I. But my boat is ashore at the moment so not worried.
Prices have moved so fast it seems the marina have bought at a peak price and have been caught out?
