Must be paying more then the whole of europe, must be dearer then France & Spain. I demand a refund & if I hear, that in real terms we`re paying less for our fuel now then 10 years ago :P I`m gonna kick the pump harder next time I fill up.  >:(

Last tank of diesel I bought a few days ago in Spain was 1.08 euros a litre. Average is about 1.12

There was a time when if it was 1.40 pounds in Britain it was 1.40 euros here. Of course you now get many more euros than say twelve months ago for your mighty pound!

'Fraid not. Here local councils set the levels so there is a small bit of variation between areas. I pay 146 euros a year for a 90BHP diesel 2.0Hdi. The V6 Omega used to be 154 euros.

It will change, the new emission regs for ships is forcing to consume diesel in certain parts of the plant (including the EU) which will push up diesel demand
