What baseline are you going on though, if you take the last 5 years it's certainly not bumbling along the bottom!
Yes, I did consider posting the same chart. As I thought you would post it. I am talking about now compared to 2015 when the EU referendum was announced.What baseline are you going on though, if you take the last 5 years it's certainly not bumbling along the bottom!

Also, the only thing holding sterling at its current level is interest expectations i.e. a potential interest rate increase by the BoE sooner than expected.

I’m sure I paid £1.52 for vpower the other day.
Not really anywhere near a Tesco any more, but got 2 shells within about 10 miles of each other.

They are taking the michael. Other than a few crackpots, it'll be just BP card holders paying what will probably be the new normal in a couple of months time.
Filled up today at Tescos 145.9 but std UL was 138.9. A 5p increase in a week. We are apparently 2p per litre off the highest ever UK price at the pumps Pump prices for petrol and diesel are near a record high

Supply chain problems hit German supermarkets
The German government is scrambling to ensure its supermarket shelves are stocked for Christmas as Europe’s largest economy is the latest country to be dragged

The €2 number is probably like @nn7man motorway price as Germany has much lower taxes on fuel than the UK Fuel price breakdown UK had the highest looking at May 2020.

“In many parts of the country (Germany) petrol pump prices have gone over €2, the highest most people can ever remember.”
Highest fuel prices in Italy and France too so no matter which way you want to cut it, rises are everywhere, no matter how much tax on fuel there is or isn’t.
UK Fuel Duty has been frozen since March 2011.

Well yes if you put Diesel in your A45, but for petrol, from your link:
Yes fuel prices are rocketing but as we all know prices can be £176.9 at many motorway service stations or £1.40 odd at a super market petrol station. Either way it's a perfect storm in the UK with natural gas prices high now and getting higher in the spring when the cap is raised again.
And we can't win by going for a Tesla. They have raised their prices 😟

Forester just likes to blame everything on Brexit 😂😂
We talk about rejecting a car. It would be good if that cohort saw in stark technicolor what they have done on a daily routine basis and reject it.
