HVO100 diesel fuel.

I am using HVO100 in a 2025 land cruiser since early January, engine sounds quieter on cold start, and normal driving.

The DPF regens at the usual interval, in terms of fuel economy it appears the same as similar drives on normal diesel shows the same L/100km in the Toyota app.

It very much depends where you buy it. In Kildare, Top Oil in Toughers is 10 cent a litre dearer than standard diesel whereas in McLoughlins Newbridge its the same price at the moment (172.9). Its worth trying to find a Certa that stocks HVO as they normally price close to standard diesel too.

F*&kers for lumping the price up like that.. No need and they could have used this as a chance to push the use of HVO…

Mad stuff why would HVO prices go up if it’s production is not dependent on Middle East but renewables we were told

Unless that’s a lie

whenever I fill up with HVO100 since early Jan, it is always exactly 15c more expensive than regular diesel per L.

when HVO100 was 188.8 L diesel was 15c cheaper.

when HVO100 was at my last fill, 224.9c /L diesel was 15c cheaper per L

if I let the tank run down to near empty it would cost €179.92 to fill up… at that price

the cleaner fuel is more expensive, where i buy it.

On the bog

Except HVO is already and always more expensive than diesel to begin with 

This is plain price gouging or worse we were all lied to by yet another greenwashing scheme.

Where is the price gouging?

You don't have to buy it.

If there is price gouging, its not by the cashiers on zero hours contracts in service stations who are bearing the brunt of the abuse, (especially when they are people of colour).

These are the "some" in this line from your post.

"Price gouging is a pejorative term for the practice of increasing the prices of goods, services, or commodities to a level much higher than is considered reasonable or fair by some".

It's the same people who abuse the front line staff in our social welfare offices and public health services.

It's all about entitlement and victimhood and nothing about responsibility

Israel and America are wholly to blame for this, of course our bending the knee to the alter of USFDI and accusations of antisemitism pretty much stifle any discussion.

It's like banging a drum

REFINERS set prices of refined fuel - makes no difference whether its petrol, diesel, kero or HVO.

It's not the importers or the distributors or the retailers. They take a miniscule mark-up. - About 12c-15c per liter combnined between them.

REFINERS set the price according to demand.

20% of European diesel and 30% of European kero & jet fuel came from the middle east. That is now ZERO. Hence the refiners worldwide have jacked up the price of all diesel / kero / jet fuels and any substitutes.

btw - if you bought Valero shares (major refiner) 3 weeks ago, you'd be sitting on a 25% profit! https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/VLO/

Isn't it demand based?

The demand rockets up because of the increased diesel cost and now everyone wants HVO so your asset value increases in line.

Murky though, for sure.

filled up with HVO100 2.239/L 15c /L premium over regular diesel.
