  5. Diesel £2 a litre today at two petrol stations; and £2.09 at motorway services.

    Thanks Trump.

    You're driving the shift to renewables quicker than you could imagine. Even the most hardened petrol heads are turning their faces away from the price display today.

  6. More traffic today, & more aggro big ute owners. 🤦 A fuel excise cut sees fuel (not diesel) down to where it jumped when Trump attacked... Temporarily helpful, but only a bandaid.

    I also want long term solutions. Get us off petrol. Free public transport. Increase EV take up. Cheap public charging when electricity's cheap. Help to buy. Charging for those who can't charge at home. Remote fast chargers.

    We can & do make shitloads of renewable power. Let's use it

  8. Just had my weekly trip down & back up the Blue Mountains.

    Main observations:

    —Traffic was really light. IMO lighter than during school hols
    —*VERY* few lifestyle big utes—even tradie utes were few & far between.
    —Diesel's price is rising much faster than petrol—I saw as much as $3.29/l for premium 😱
    —The % of BEVs/hybrids in daily traffic has skyrocketed (because they're driving as much as usual, while ICE drivers appear to be driving less)

  9. Fuel theft fears: Rural Wales on alert as prices rocket and criminals circle

    The warning has been issued by FUW Insurance Services Ltd after a dramatic spike in the cost of red diesel and heating oil linked to global instability.

    In just a matter of weeks, red diesel prices have surged from around 67p per litre to 109p — a jump of more than 60% — while heating oil has in some cases more than doubled to around £1.30 per litre.

    Carmarthenshire communities among hardest hit

    The impact is being felt most sharply in rural parts of the Swansea Bay region — particularly across Carmarthenshire, where reliance on heating oil remains high.

    Previous Swansea Bay News reporting has revealed just how exposed some communities are. In areas such as Llannon, Cross Hands and Pen-y-groes, around 69% of households rely on oil, while the figure stands at 65% in Abergwili, Llanegwad and Carmel. Even in places like Llanddarog, Llangyndeyrn and Ferryside, more than four in ten homes depend on oil.

    That leaves thousands of households vulnerable to sudden price shocks — and increasingly, to criminals.

    Fears of a surge in rural crime

    Experts say spikes in fuel costs have historically gone hand-in-hand with a rise in theft — and farms are often prime targets.

    Fuel tanks, agricultural machinery and storage units can all be vulnerable, with thieves able to strike quickly and cause serious damage in the process. Beyond the immediate financial hit, incidents can also lead to environmental harm if tanks are tampered with or fuel is spilled.

    Dafydd Peredur Jones of FUW Insurance Services Ltd said:

    “Rising fuel prices are placing additional pressure on rural communities, but they also increase the risk of theft.

    We are urging farmers and rural residents to take proactive steps to protect their fuel supplies and remain vigilant.”

    Not just farms in the firing line

    The warning extends beyond agriculture.

    Rural buildings such as churches, chapels, village halls and community centres — many of which rely on heating oil and may be left unattended — are also being urged to tighten security.

    Simple steps like monitoring fuel levels, securing tanks and installing CCTV could make all the difference.

    Part of a wider fuel crisis

    The alert comes as pressure continues to build across the region.

    Swansea Bay News has previously reported on growing fears over potential fuel rationing, alongside the real-world impact on businesses — including a Llanelli haulier facing staggering cost increases of up to £64,000 a week.

    At the same time, families across rural communities have been hit hard by soaring heating bills, with some seeing costs triple in a matter of months. Rising prices have also been linked to a resurgence in heating oil theft incidents across Wales.

    With global instability continuing to drive prices higher, communities across Carmarthenshire and the wider Swansea Bay region are now facing a double threat – sky-high costs and the growing risk of crime.

    “Remain vigilant”

    With no immediate sign of prices easing, the message from experts is clear: stay alert.

    For many across rural south west Wales, fuel isn’t a luxury — it’s essential for heating homes, running farms and keeping businesses moving.

    And as prices climb, protecting it has never been more important.

    That's just over $11 per gallon.
