Will this also be the case in the UK as we are still part of the UK (at least until March 29 2019!).

[...puts on French tin hat]

"Gasoil ou sans plomb?"

"Hmmm, no fill it up with "XTL"?!? please and if not I'll take half a tank of "B7"?!?"

Good afternoon,

I love it here in Ireland - you have Diesel, petrol and super petrol. If I see the options one has in Germany I could cry.

Now this seems it will change in the future for all countries. What will be the right diesel for the van?


Sorry I have to leave... I have to see my dealer...

Regards,
Eberhard

Yes, any kind of change gets quite hard to cope with once you get north of fifty...

The owners manual says the fuel should comply with EN590 (or DIN EN590)..........

So that means we should use the B7 diesel as per the article in link ?

Yes I think you are right. B7 is the one for me (Cheaper than B10 too!)
I wonder what the AA and RAC say.....? I had a quick look on the RAC website and can't find anything about labelling at the pumps.

This is an interesting article.

Quite clear what is supposed to happen.

Good afternoon,

Well, instead of planning new labels the price for petrol and diesel should come down.

I couldn't believe it on the way to work this monring - the price of diesel went up considerably.

Don't know about Ireland but UK diesel prices are within same range that they've been since about 2010, even though at a four year high. Peaked at £1.48 in 2012 and low £1.00 in 2016. Now about £1.35.

(That's not inflation adjusted.)

I heard on news that a price war is just kicking off in UK tat will nudge prices down a bit soon.

Interesting to track, but as it's a non-controllable in my life it doesn't bother me.
