Petrol prices set to rise by 5p per litre Petrol pump prices could increase by 5p a litre, burning a hole in the pockets of holiday motorists, the AA warned today. A surge in the wholesale cost of petrol across Europe has already led to a rise in UK petrol and diesel prices, with more misery possibly to come, the AA said. Any rise would take prices at the pumps spiralling to up to £1.45 a litre. On average, petrol price in Shropshire have risen from 134.61p a litre in mid-June to 135.78p now, while diesel has gone up from 139.16p a month ago to 140.24p now. AA president Edmund King said: “A 100 dollars-a-tonne increase in the cost of petrol across north west Europe, combined with a weaker pound, heralds a potential 5p increase in pump petrol costs.” He added that should petrol go up 5p a litre then a family from Shropshire heading off on holiday in a typical family car to Cornwall will pay £2.90 more for the return trip than it would have done in June. The highest fuel price being charged in Shropshire today was 138.9 for petrol and 143.9 for diesel. The cheapest was 130.7 for petrol and 135.7 for diesel. At present, London and the North West have the cheapest petrol, at 135.5p a litre on average. Northern Ireland, although enjoying the smallest price rise over the past month, is still the most expensive region for petrol at 136.6p. Scotland and East Anglia share the position of most expensive areas in the UK for diesel, both averaging 140.8p a litre, while the North West has the cheapest, at 139.7p. Mr King said: “After the price of petrol stabilised at around 134.6p a litre through much of this June, and weeks were filled with beautiful weather and sporting excellence, it was perhaps inevitable that oil and fuel market speculators would cast a black cloud over what was promising to be a glorious summer.” --- Fuel News: Looking for solutions. Most cost a lot of money not only at the front end research but then also for the end user. Right now there is a product already that - reduces harmful emissions - lowers maintenance costs - saves money at the pump - increases horsepower and torque greenfootglobal/greendriver How Does It Work? EnviroTabs® is an organometallic metal conditioner that acts as a combustion chamber catalyst. This catalyst allows more of the fuel to burn in the power stroke of the engine, and therefore, less fuel burns in the exhaust stroke. EnviroTabs® simultaneously improves fuel economy, increases power and reduces emissions by creating a micro-thin coating in the combustion chamber of your engine that allows fuel to burn quicker. EnviroTabs® burns off carbon deposits and catalytically causes a chemical reaction to happen at a lower temperature. The fuel particles begin to combust at temperatures as low as 200º C, as opposed to 600° C. This chemical reaction allows the impurities and the hard carbon deposits to completely burn off. EnviroTabs® changes the surface-heat-absorption characteristics of metal. Note: The greatest loss in efficiency in an automobile engine is the loss of heat. Heat is energy released by the mixture of fuel and air producing a heat spike, that creates expansion used to power the vehicle. The cylinder walls and head are water-cooled, and the pistons are oil-cooled.The thin coating inhibits the transfer of radiant heat. This means higher-combustion temperature, greater expansion, and more power with reduced emissions. By increasing the burn in the combustion chamber (rather than as after-burn), performance can be increased, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions. Heat recovery is the single best method that can reduce harmful emissions, increase fuel economy, improve engine performance, and extend oil and engine life.
