petrol

I recently repeated some analysis on the UK Petrol Prices. Slightly different from last time, instead of a large hand written Excel workbook, I wrote a Python script that downloads and processes the data and creates charts from it.

TL;DNR - Buy Super Unleaded petrol! (or don’t) I usually buy my petrol from Tesco for my Celica, I mostly use their super unleaded 99 octane. I have tried both the normal and the super, I’ve not really noticed a massive difference, however the super feels better, but that could just be me imagining it.

Petrol Prices are allays on the rise. I decided to do some analysis on some raw data comparing the price of Brend Crude Oil and the price of petrol. The details of the analysis is on my site.

Petrol prices always seem to be in the news. This is mostly because it costs a lot of money and continues to increase all the time. Duty increases and VAT increases are both usually blamed.
