Still not as bad as printer ink.
Watching this 10 months later and £1.45 a litre would be a dream right now ;)
Shows how much the price has gone up in a short period of time. Crazy
Certainly not cheap. I drive a coach and fill up between £300 - £400 every couple of days. We can fuel where we like so the shell and BP points soon add up. ☺️
Does that come out of yours or the company’s pay?
@@pugsterjosh7925
WE have a ALLSTAR company fuel card to pay for the fuel but the loyalty cards are our own. It's a great little perk.
Diesel was 52p a litre when I started driving in the 90s.
During covid it was 92p by me. Ah the good old days

Nice to see your 3 points of contact getting out the truck Ashley 👏
Until recently the retail price of petrol and diesel fuel was ~50p/litre including the profit margin for the producer, supplier and the retailer. The UK Government added swinging fuel duty at 57.95p/litre (=£1.0795) then added VAT at 20% on both the fuel price *and the duty* (= £1.2954)! The oil producer, distributor and retailer made a small profit (~3p/l?) but the Government charged the consumer ~80p. Meanwhile, the use of 'Gas Oil' (Red Diesel) at 5% VAT is being further restricted.
The DERV duty/tax is an unfair burden on hauliers and a 'hidden tax' that will be passed on to consumers. Meanwhile, jet fuel attracts zero duty/tax and millions of Americans pollute our atmosphere in their gas-guzzling, inefficient, oversize vehicles!
Not much the UK government can do about the US though is there?
@@neilwilliams3298 they tried in the 1700s
I miss getting Clubcard points,we fill up in work now.I never lock the fuel cap, saves someone smashing it up, plus I’ve had a few locks on them sieze up.
I remember just over a decade that fuel was under the one pound. Shows ya just how much we've fucked up lol
I really like this, like we are on an adventure. 😂 But seriously, this gives some great insight.
👍
I used to have a split pin on my keyring that fitted the holes in the nozzle so I could click it on rather than hold it for ages.
I had a triangle shape bit of broken pallet, Swindon truck stop used to sell rubber wedges for £3,.......and people bought them!
My driving form has now been sent
I remember my father complaining that the price of petrol was going up............... from £0.56 to £0.57/ Litre
I remember those days. Had folks hunting for cheaper petrol when it was around 48pence! Oh how we wish it was those prices today.
I must be much older than you. I can remember my dad complaining 'it'll be a pound a gallon before long'! Thing is, that gets funnier as time progresses.
It's 155p ish (I don't use it so not properly up to date with it) a litre down here and petrol is at 150p. Insane prices.
Do you ever take your car pupils to the fuel station? Its one part of learning to drive my dad used to do with pupils who were almost ready for their test. When my wife learnt many years ago first time she needed fuel she didn't have a clue.
When I last drove a small Lorry a full tank of about 116 litres cost me £40. used to get roughly 300 miles on a tank.
On my old Fiesta it was about £45-£50 for about 300 mile range.
On my new EV it's £12 for a similar range, although I'm not on the best electric tariff right now. In theory it could be as low as £4 for a full charge.
My M class Merc has a 100 litre tank so not difficult to work out how much it costs to fill. As a Euro 5 it costs £585 to tax yet if it was a year newer with the same engine but different emissions controls it would be around£200 or less. I didn't catch what the guy said about how many miles that would give.
Come to the Highlands where you'll see £1.90 a liter
Thats pricey! Guessing the recent fuel crisis has driven the price up a few notches
Always wondered how much fuel hgv’s carry
While fuel prices are high I've been using premium E5 Vs standard E10, works out I currently save ~2p per litre for the extra distance using E5 and a higher octane (currently I can spend an extra 8p and in Sainsbury's E5 97 octane costs 6p more)... It's not a massive saving but I might as well go a bit further On a fuel up xD
Well you have no idea how engines and cars work then. Octane doesn't give you better fuel economy. It's a measure on how much compression it can take in an engine before self-igniting. That's it. Infact E10 have a higher octane. It's why tuned race cars use E85 - 85% Ethanol, rather than your standard dino juice, as it's octane rating can go over 110!! So go fuel up with E10 and actually save money. Premium fuel tends to have better detergents, so your fuel consumption decrease is most likely down to detergents cleaning up your fuel system.
@@khalidacosta7133 Ethanol is less energy dense than petrol so it burns quicker E10 burns quicker than E5 simple as that.
it’s 1,50 in west midlands now
I wish that the car fillers can be the same speed as thise hgv ones
No. It's too dangerous for little car tanks and little minds.
is that adblue worth it
a guy I met carries 300 gallons of diesel at full fill-up. he's a contract hauler delivering engines for Boeing.
One of the most annoying things I found as an instructor was that every time I took over a wagon it needed filling up! If I was taking the same pupil they would be annoyed that they wasted their time stuck at the pumps!
Diesel has gone from 108p to 150p per litre in the last 2 years, I'm honestly glad I'm moving to London soon where I can sell my car and use nothing but the tube, far cheaper
At the height of covid it was 90p a litre round here
Wow, £400 for this lorry till fill up with diesel! How much would the cost be for the adblue Ashley?
That is too old for adblue, but on having it’s about 3L to 100L of fuel.
AdBlue's still fairly cheap, and lasts a few weeks as opposed to 1-2 days. The tanks vary in size, but where I work the trucks we use have a 40L AdBlue tank, which would cost about.... £50.
And 3 months after this video was released (03/22) diesel is now almost £2 a litre and climbing 10p by the day.
how much is it now ?
Cor, hope you got Nector points
10000nectar points is exciting until you get a voucher twice a year for 50p.
Sorry to ask the question Ash....
Missed some dialogue here.
What size fuel tank (gallons for preference - not litres); actual 💸 to fill and projected range?
Thanks in anticipation.
Stay safe everyone 👍
Stay safe. 🙂
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII You too ⚡
Got some catching up to do but not here..... Just let me know an email for contact (your channel) and go from there 😻
Tanks normal 80ish gallons (400L) and up on most rigids, long range trucks (country hopping) can easy get into 200+ (1000L).
Efficiency wise massive depends on the driving so stop start or motorway Cruise, and the weight of the truck. Normally ranges at good efficiency low teens mpg, a decenty Heavy laden truck in town is going to be getting low single figures🤣
@@edwardpurkis1084 👍
@@grahamnutt8958 Evening Graham.
My comment seems to have dissapeared so i will write it again.🤷♂️
From what Paul is saying probably about a 60 gallon tank at these prices £7.25 a gallon, thats £435 to fill up,
estimated 12mpg just a guess.
So around 600 to 700 miles on a tank if lucky. Hope that helps.👍
Did you hear me shout “gloves!”, when you started climbing down?
Wait until you’re running at 44 tonnes and you’ll see how quick these things burn diesel. Small tank on that truck as well to only take £400 to fill it up.
£1.45 a litre, must be a dream!
Hi Ashley I asked this in a previous episode but may I ask why you want to learn to drive a truck. Is it because you want to do it for pleasure or business?
It's mainly for professional development Laurence. I will be using the license in some capacity though!
@@ashley_neal great. I’m currently learning to drive at the moment and your videos really help.
@@ashley_neal im surprised your in a auto truck, not manual stright 6 or 4x4 manual
Wow! Look at that money vanish! WOW!
Thats not a large truck fuel tank😆 and they getting decent ish economy as not a heavy truck as well. Its gets more expensive from there🤣
Aaaaaaand, it's gone. 💸
I can see fuel theft from lorries going exponential soon if prices continue to rise. :/
And to think ... when I started driving, petrol was 32 pence *a* *gallon*
Wow..... even I'm old enough to remember those days 😁👍
I can't see it stopping any time soon either, they'll keep doing it to push everyone to buy electric cars....I'd really be keen to know though if scrapping my (nearly) 22 year old car and buying an electric is better for the environment. Surely stop producing all these new cars and maintain the fleet we got currently would be better?! Its almost ironic with wages going up it makes paying someone to fixing older broken things less viable, contributing to this throw away society we've developed!
@@TheVanderfulLife Well said.
My "daily" is a 50 year old motor - albeit under restoration - which to my way of thinking is probably the ultimate in recycling. Besides anything else.... unable to charge an EV from home address due to a lack of parking etc 🤔
Five shillings a gallon when I started - 25p!
@@chrispop99 Was that 5⭐ full fat Leaded, perchance?
My car was designed to run on it but.... now on Unleaded 😁🤔
Maybe at some point in the not too distant future we will start to see hydrogen fuel cell technology coming through for hgv's.
On some motorways in Germany they're trialing overhead pantograph technology for hybrid trucks.
That's all well and good until some goof changes lane and flips the pan, destroying the OHLE.
@@capnskiddies I've no idea about the technology or what will power hgv's in the future. But even to a layman like me it has become more and more apparent in recent years that the ICE, as part of a mass transport system is becoming less and less viable.
I found a Land Rover Evoque newspaper article from their prelaunch in 2008. Test car was 2litre turbo diesel because the hydrogen hybrid was just finishing final testing before launch. 2021 still no sign of hydrogen hybrid anywhere.
@@graememckay9972 Then that suggest to me the main block for that particular technology may not be so much technological but political and economic.
The politics and economics are getting towards tipping point for fossil fuels and I could see the hydrogen fuel cell finding a place in haulage. Probably not in domestic car use as most manufacturers of cars are moving towards battery power now, but for hgv's there is no clear winning technology yet. So, I guess time will tell.
Once you have your HGV you can try the electric trucks (see fully charged channel)
Advice from an EX ( Thank God ! ) HGV 1 Driver:
Do NOT Wear Your Work Gloves When Handling Diesel Pump, Tank Cap Etc, When You Get Diesel on Gloves, They Will Then Hold Diesel to Your Skin, You WILL Get Dermititus = OWCH !
£1.45 a litre - that's cheap compare to my way, £1.53 round here!
well over a thousand pounds per fill, my tank holds 800lts
And I thought £60 to brom my C--max from empty was bad... lol
0:25 I see Shell's sporting the brand new wireless fuel pumps
Peopel have no idea what their underwear on shelves needs in terms of transportation . Or they order online with white van and expect it to flap back to shop if they don't like it😅
Car drivers will be paying that much for a tankful soon the way things are going. Stay safe.
Don't be silly
Silly boy.
£400+ for diesel think about all that lovely VAT on fuel company's can claim back.
£1.45 / litre... lol
it’s probably because there big and heavy ash
Or you just go to truck stops and steal it all like those low lifes did recently.
The worst part is the trucks are terrible on economy, or at least the one on my test were with 7-11mpg, that's Range Rover territory 😋.
What do you expect from a giant heavy vehicle with zero aerodynamics and a giant engine.
£1.45 a litre is insane for diesel. I thought things were bad enough here in Ireland at €1.60 a litre (cheapest in my area) which is about £1.34. It is still insane across the board for diesel and petrol. We are getting screwed.
Wow electric lorries can't come soon enough
Talking about 1.45 being high, if only you'd known...
