Fuel Price

[Ataraxia]

Now the price of oil has dropped, do we get a rebate?

[Mysticalmother]

Hahahaha.....( but let me know if you do! ):D

We got quite a reasonable refund on Celebrity earlier this year, about £35 each iirc credited to our on-board account. Couldn't work out what is was for .......... port taxes, fuel surcharge????? No idea - must have been something we'd paid for within the cruise price which provided some buffer for them in respect of variable charges for something. Must have been necessary for them to repay it though as they could easily have got away without - we'd never have known. Anyone know what it might have been for? (We didn't miss any ports.)

If you have a look at their accounts, they are fuel price hedged between 80 and 110 dollars (Brent). If the price remains between those numbers, there should be neither a gain or a loss as they have bought security in pricing via derivatives.

The cost of buying that security should be included in the cruise cost.

What price do you pay at the pump.
In Edinburgh just now it is £1.209 per litre

[kruzseeka]

Same here on the S Coast.

Wow and I though $1.49 a litre was steep, that about 1pound roughly.

[annieuk]

We're near Southampton and we are paying £1.21

[GUT2407]

Actually just check the exchange rate we're paying the equivalent of about 84p

[jeanlyon]

1.26 down here for diesel in Devon. Oil price has dropped again today.

[Sanjam cruisers]

£1.26 per litre for desiel at BP here and £1.24 at the various supermarkets nearby. We are approx 12 miles northwest of Glasgow.

Mind you I haven't filled up for 10 days, so it might be less!

A friend in Texas was compaining that it was $3.50 a GALLON there :rolleyes: Edited November 14, 2014 by CRUISIN LINDA

Dont forget gallons in US only contain 3.78 litres compared to ours being 4.54 litres so that will affect price and also oil being priced in dollars and US exchange rate has been poorer recently so that will balance out any price drop.

[silver surfer 2010]

Filled up today and it was 119.9 for unleaded

But that's still under $1 a ltr.
