Yachting Monthly May issue - page 6 - surely some mistake

In the May issue of Yachting Monthly on page 6 there is an article

FUEL PRICES BOOST YACHT DELIVERIES BY SEA

in the body of the article it states :

. . . 'DERV' fuel prices peaked at an all-time high of £144.7 per litre in February and already one yacht delivery agent has reported a substatnial increase in 'sea delivery' orders.

Surely the DERV prices have not gone up that high, to nearly one hundred and fifty quid a litre?

.......well, they have gone up substatnially!!!!

It came DOWN to 147.9 ltr around here the end of last week.

Was it a Dick Durham article?

145.9p locally. I'm tempted to buy a litre and ask for the correct change.

Signs of a decrease near here. I had to fill the tank at 148.9 p/l at the start of last week and by Thursday it was down to 144.9 in the same station.

Wait until the tanker drivers get snippy, that'll put the prices back up!

Yes £1.459 per litre but the magazine article is quoting 100 times more £144.70 per litre

That was very perceptive of you to notice, you would make an excellent delivery skipper with that sort of attention to detail!
