Just filled up with diesel before leaving the UK and paid £184.9 however unleaded was just £158.9, that's a whopping 26p difference, what's going on?

Before leaving the UK?? If your trip involves France or Spain then diesel will be way cheaper than here! We filled up in Calais 2 weeks ago for £1.38/litreJust filled up with diesel before leaving the UK and paid £184.9 however unleaded was just £158.9, that's a whopping 26p difference, what's going on?
Primarily because the UK imported most of it's diesel from Russia, there's been a general drop in production elsewhere and an increase in demand from truck / transport industries.Just filled up with diesel before leaving the UK and paid £184.9 however unleaded was just £158.9, that's a whopping 26p difference, what's going on?

I hadn’t looks like I got out in time! (With a tank full of cheap diesel hehe)You may not have noticed that there are fuel strikes in France & there are pretty severe supply problems.
Probably makes sense to fill up here !

I think I prefer being shafted at the pumps than in my bed at night courtesy of the madman Putin and his missiles. Mind you, if OPEC weren't so intent on lining their pockets and supporting Putin we would be in a better place.We are being screwed left right and centre.
Wasn't diesel the way forward with the Dpf and Egr stuff.
It once was a lot cheaper, before everyone had a diesel car.
Now we're being pushed to electric.
-According to the data set of 161 countries, gasoline is more expensive than diesel fuel in 84% of all countries. On average, diesel is 9,84% cheaper but the difference varies considerably across countries as well as within countries.
Both gasoline and diesel fuel are produced from crude oil and therefore the cost of crude oil is the main factor influencing gasoline and diesel prices. However, fuel prices also reflect refining costs, taxes, and distribution and marketing costs. Additionally, retail prices are affected by market demand. These factors lead to a price spread between gasoline and diesel.-
Propper shafted.
We experienced that last week in Dole, France went to two filling stations that had no diesel, ended up up filling on the motorway but it was not much more expensive, unlike the UK.You may not have noticed that there are fuel strikes in France & there are pretty severe supply problems.

I partly agree with you thereI think I prefer being shafted at the pumps than in my bed at night courtesy of the madman Zelensky and sleepy Joe . Mind you, if OPEC weren't so intent on lining their pockets and supporting Putin we would be in a better place.
It’s shocking, used to be about five pence difference! People don’t remember when government were pushing diesel as the way forward now they’re penalising people for using dirty diesel! As usual comically awful governmentJust filled up with diesel before leaving the UK and paid £184.9 however unleaded was just £158.9, that's a whopping 26p difference, what's going on?
I think we established further up that the duty is the same on unleaded as it is on diesel, so its not the government's doing, and you need to find another scapegoat.It’s shocking, used to be about five pence difference!

I've found one or two.and you need to find another scapegoat.
I think it’s been well established over recent weeks the government are totally incompetent and can take the blame for most of the crap going in on this country at the moment.I think we established further up that the duty is the same on unleaded as it is on diesel, so its not the government's doing, and you need to find another scapegoat.
No, starts with 5th letter of the alphabet followed by the 21st.I've found one or two.
One of them begins with B and ends in idon. The other that is pocketing
cash starts with Z and ends in sky.
