    I see the price difference between petrol and diesel is getting less and less.

    In a couple of places today I notice they are the same
    price! (Or something like 135.8 V 135.3)

    Any reason for this?

    Dunno the reason but the applegreen I normally use has petrol and diesel both for 127.8 I thought they must have made a mistake on the sign!

    I'd noticed this and was trying to work it out too.

    I honestly reckon the stations see the trend shifting off diesel cars are just trying to milk what they can before demand drops.

    Strange diesel gone up to petrol prices and not the other way round, petrol prices dropping to diesel prices,as petrol now better for environment.
    i know it wouldn't happen!

    Shop around folks. Get the best price even if you only save a quid or two per tank.

    Petrol did go down over the last 3 months. Diesel has been pretty much stable in price.
