The cynic in me says the Oil Companies are recouping profits now more people are travelling again and the Chancellor is turning a blind eye

Id say you are spoton , the local Tesco has a local price policy , basically there is no competition left so they charge what they like as it's 20 mile down the road to the next Tesco which often is up to 5p/litre cheaper as they are near an Asda :headbang: It's just like the electric where they put the prices up just before the winter when everybody uses more .
Certainly none of the usual things they trot like there is a war on somewhere to justify it. The way its going will be 1.50 by September :o all good for the chancellor as he gets the vat increase for saying nothing.

Fuel demand is increasing and that’s driving prices, but it’s also true that fuel stations have had a lean time with no (or far fewer) customers and have fixed operating costs. Unsurprisingly they are now doing a number on us by recovering them. Time to not let the cars get so empty again I think! :( :o

I think the result will be more people looking at Electric cars if things continue and that won't help their business model much :(

Everything will go up in price. There will also be food shortages - quite probably from alledged 'cyber attacks'. Not to mention power cuts and Internet blocks. Watch out for the next year or so.
Cost of fuel for your vehicle is the least of your worries.

I refuse to use supermarket fuel. I stick to Esso, mainly, or Shell. My local Esso is currently £1.329. Last week, on a flying visit to Newbury & Winchester, I paid (and saw none cheaper than) £1.409. Premium was over £1.50.

It's always supply & demand. Earlier this year (January/February time) I was paying £1.059 at the local Esso. :o

Certainly more than fuel going up, wood and steel prices rising rapidly limited supply and a sudden high demand plus fuel going up has a knock on effect on everything as it all needs transported

There must be more money/profit to be made on charging points. Although I don’t know how at this early stage of pricing us out of our petrol/diesel cars
