Diesel/gasoil

[SteveN]

We didn't launch Isabella last year and she's sitting with empty tanks with launch date approaching. Last fill was in good old red diesel days back in 2008 (at a then eye-watering 95p/litre - good old Dunstaffnage). Although I've followed the taxation changes, the 60/40 split and all that, I've no idea what effect it's had on prices at the pump.

So is red still the fuel of choice or do I need to trek to Tesco with my jerrycans and 5p off vouchers?

Oh and if red it is, who's cheapest in the L. Creran area?. Linnhe Marine I would guess? (I need c. 250 litres.)

Ta.

As Claymore suggests, try the agricultural solution. Red diesel (gas oil) is the right stuff, but last autumn some of the marina prices for red (even after the 60/40 calculation) were above supermarket filling station prices for the fully taxed white stuff.

No it does not help Steve.
The price in Kip this week on 60/40 split works out at 89p ltr

Thanks folks. I shall make enquiries locally, out here in the sticks..
