The price of petrol is on the march again. After a year of steadying and declining prices, there's a recent and nasty upward trend. In fact, prices are rising currently at every couple of days. Because petrol has been £1 per gallon cheaper than th…
This morning... We're getting used to the chameleon-like transformation of Bridge Services. Overnight, our BP petrol filling station at Bridge Services transformed back into a Texaco. It was in 2018 that it went from Texaco to BP . Then, it took …
Yesterday, guess who spoke too soon as regards the cost of fuel in Rhuthun/Ruthin. So much for the pump price stabalising. While unleaded hasn't changed since yesterday, the most expensive diesel has shot up by 45p a gallon, from £8.17 to £8.63. …
When should I post on forecourt petrol prices in Rhuthun/Ruthin? They're going up continuously and there's a new surprise every day. But, amid rumours that fuel has reached its peak (we'll see about that) I have decided to go live, now. …
Inane quote of the week, from the RAC on the continued pressure on fuel price, as appeared on the Daily Post website 25/10/2021: https://www.dailypost.co.uk/news/north-wales-news/rac-issue-fuel-warning-petrol-21960401 RAC fuel spokesman said, 'Wit…
It seems we're out of diesel again at Dyffryn Services . So far, we've managed well during the current fuel crisis. The nearest fuel station, which by half a mile is at Loggerheads, has some but it seems that poor Lisa would struggle to get th…
Of course, it doesn't help that Bridge Services (BP) is closed for a refit . But, the mere hint that motorists should 'carry on as normal' and statements such as there is 'plenty of petrol' didn't appear to reassure anyone, and…
Who says there's no future in carbon-based fuels? Today, Bridge Services (aka the BP filling station) closes. The shop'll remain open but there'll be no petrol or diesel (or car wash) while its owners, the Motor Fuel Group, install new ta…
Was it the news from Ruthin Town FC that sparked today's Tesco rush? Was this enough to engender if not alarm then a mass wave of customers? Or was it the prime minister's statement yesterday? No one seemed panicked, rushed or ill-mannered but…
There was a noticeable hike in fuel prices, yesterday, owing to the Middle East situation. For example, diesel increased 14p a gallon (3p per litre) and the cheapest gallon in Rhuthun/Ruthin now costs £5.99. There may be more bad news to come. As …
NOVEMBER: Rhuthun/Ruthin's new bathroom showroom is now fully open, this November, at the former premises known for many years as Celff a Chrefft. In NOVEMBER , work was completed on the walling by the cemetery, on Prior Street. The three tr…
We've long reported the cost of fuel. Here's a dramatic representation per gallon of diesel at forecourt prices. These data are for 2012, 2013 and 2014 plus up to today in Rhuthun/Ruthin, January 2015. Yet. we're told, that the price of cr…
After Sunday's pointless non-event of an A55 fuel protest convoy, what's happening locally in terms of the sale of liquid gold for our cars? Well, on Saturday, the large pavement sign at Texaco Bridge Services still advertised cheap petrol …
Following yesterday's post , the town councillor to whom I referred has been on the telephone. The councillor now thinks that the proposed Tesco petrol station & adjacent KFC will *not* go ahead. The prospect did bring with it some interesti…
A chance meeting with a town councillor in Siop Nain yesterday confirmed Rhuthun/Ruthin was not only likely to get the rumoured KFC but that Tesco might be expanding. Both, apparently, are linked. For it seems that a developer may have bought both …
The seemingly unstoppable rise in petrol and diesel continues to cause concern. This time, it's Gaddafi's fault. Oil speculators like stability, not uncertainty. So, things can only worsen. Which is bad news for Rhuthun/Ruthin. The town depe…
This time last week, Bridge Services was cordoned off while contractors erected a new totem pole and completed the installation of new fascia signs and petrol pumps. It's made a considerable difference and the price indicator pole replaces the old…
As the world returns after Christmas to some sort of normalcy (whatever that may be these days and, let's face it, yesterday's bank holiday was somewhat pointless), let us reflect that: On New Year's Eve the price of Rhuthun's most e…
