Petrol Prices

[guest806]

Summer is here and the Petrol prices are on the rise again.  What i don't understand is last year when they rose, it was about 13p a litre different between petrol and diesel.  Recently petrol has increased near me going up 5p in the last few weeks to 97.9p but diesel has not changed at 103.9p

Diesel prices should be higher than petrol because --

1. Out of every barrel of crude you get twice as much petrol than diesel
( 9 galls diesel to about 19 galls petrol from 42 gallon crude 'barrel').

2. Diesel has 15 to 20% more energy in it than petrol so it should be at least 15% more expensive.

3. Diesel is heavier than petrol and costs more to transport.

Add all the above together and petrol users are actually subsidising diesel users.
