Am seeing the spread in price difference of diesel over petrol steadily increasing
Yesterday at a garage in Twickenham it was near 30p

Is there any reason for this?
Is diesel availability constrained due to a lack of distillate import from Russia?

Yes it’s a Russian issue,
A general tightness in the diesel market expected over the winter. Might still go down as well as up depending on oil prices, I suspect the differential will remain.

Its just that a lot of diesel was produced in the old eastern refineries geared up for Russian oil. Takes a couple of years to switch over. In the meantime I believe eu/we are buying in more from India , who uses Russian oil! !

France still subsidising petrol and diesel, that will end this month, unless Macron gets cold feet about the rampaging yellow jerseys, that may knock back EU demand a fraction. Filters are in fact so good that in certain circumstances, when the ambient air is already polluted, a diesel car will tend to extract more particles from the air than it emits.

I've bought 2x 20L Jerry cans to store some in case of shortages. That's not even 1/2 a tank so may buy 2 more........ 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

That’s why this suddenly appears useful for £7,000

Won’t pull a trailer or get you into London, but gets you to Tesco’s! I suppose home delivery is cheaper.
