UK DIESEL PRICES.

Nope.....I'm "saving" because I'm not going. So the weekend I would have spent £81 camp site fees + £70 food and drinks + local pub + diesel is now not being spent........ diesel at £2.06 a litre is my £5 takeaway coffee, or £3.50 service station sweet bag

Think of it this way...I have money but at a certain point, I say no. Before that point, the money is spent, its allocated.....when I reached the point of no, its back, its in my thoughts and I have the ability to channel that elsewhere.

Its not a literal monetary saving, that would be impossible.

I get the point, we didn’t go away last weekend because it worked out so expensive with the fees and fuel….. so I went to look at a 6mtr van instead….. I think between the orange moron and money grabbing site fees we are pretty much out of luck for cheap weekends away for the rest of the year. The last time I filled up was last month and with a voucher it cost me £1.62 ltr so I think the van will stay in the garage for the winter now. It worked out cheaper to use the EV and stop in a premier inn

No because the point of NO has not been reached. The No point varies. Even my £500m+ Client has a no point. He relocated out of the country in 2025....a no point reached. His though is probably a lot higher than most on here, but sometimes has an odd flutter on small items that I wouldn't even consider

So as a business I saved £5k last year because I said no to another 15% software price increase or over 5years the 115% price increase. As a business did I save £5k by not renewing or did I not spend £5k

Everyone’s circumstances are different and they will have their own NO point.
But I’ll let you into a little secret that the many pensioners on here who complain about the price of diesel never mention.
State Pension in 2021 ( when we got our van ) £9339.20
Now £12,547.60. Each.

Diesel at £2 now is more affordable for us now than it was at £1.40 or whatever it was then.

The idea of setting a NO price at which we would leave the van on the drive is a non starter for us. Have van go camping. That’s what we bought it for.
