Firstly: Happy New Year SWB.

I'm budgeting for my trip over UK and Europe in May......need an idea of what you're paying for petrol atm (or the highest it's been lately). ????

Hapy new year, petrol is anywhere between £1.29 and £1.36 depending on where you buy it to

Exeter is £1.31 - £1.34

But as Merv says, depends on where. I think the Motorway services are nearer £1.39 at the moment.

Supermarkets are generally the best value if you can get off the Motorways.

I recall from trips across France etc in 2010 that fuel was a bit cheaper there - compared to the UK.

More recent threats of blockades in the Gulf will probably filter through resulting in higher prices soon

i have seen unleaded at £1.42.9 today but have read that the blockades being threatened by the US could add as much as 50p on a litre !

time to get the push bike out of the loft i think or start stockpiling fuel in the shed

Here's a list of prices across Europe too.

Shame we're not paying USA prices

Thanks folks.

I'm kind of in shock!! But it has made me re-adjust my budget.
Might have to survive on tins of baked beans while I'm there.

I have a couple friends who sell bio-diesel at about £1.25/ltr put only sell in quantities of 1000 ltr and above.

But who would want to ride a diesel bike....

You never know Layne!

I thought all Harley's were diesels...

They use red diesel.

Harley Davidson = a method of turning fossil fuels to noise without the disadvantage of BHP
