Blazing weather! Blazing service"

Good morning,    Who would have thought that this close to October, it would be sun-bathing and ice cream weather?!  This glorious sunshine and warmth is set to continue over the weekend and onto Monday.    And yet, guess who is talking about being prepared for the winter?  The County Council is making sure now that it's much  better prepared for the eventuality of severe cold weather! In a bid to stop the county from relying on donations from other councils in the event of a widespread big freeze like those experienced over the last two years, salt stocks here in Worcestershire are bigger than ever before. Peter Blake, head of integrated transport at Worcestershire County Council, said: "As we go into this winter we have never had more resilience to deal with anything the winter's going to throw at us.  We have got more salt supplies than ever. We have never been more prepared." So, come rain or shine, an Indian Summer or a severe winter, we at JGS Couriers will continue to offer you a blazing courier service across the country and Europe.                                       -o-   Travel News                                       -o- Enjoy this fabulous weather and have a great weekend!

Our latest Fuel Price Report

Good afternoon,  

Here at JGS Couriers, we understand the importance of saving money wherever possible.  Some of our newsletters over the last few months have demonstrated how you can reduce costs by using couriers, as well as how you yourself can drive that bit better to cut your fuel consumption.

We thought that you might find it of interest to get occasionally updated of the cost of fuel here in the UK. And so you'll find a summary of fuel prices below.

If you missed, our Fuel Saving leaflet from May, please email us and we'll send it to you.

                                      -o- 

A 3p drop in wholesale fuel prices in recent months has been slowly passed on to drivers and transport companies. In fact, as you can see from the chart below, in most cases prices continue to rise.  Also volatility in the oil markets continues to cast doubt as to whether UK pump prices will show a sustained improvement.

Unleaded prices have risen by 0.1ppl from 135.6ppl to 135.7ppl. Diesel prices have risen, by 0.2ppl, from 139.7ppl to 139.9ppl.  The price difference between unleaded and diesel has risen to 4.2ppl.

Northern Ireland recorded the highest price for unleaded at 136.7ppl. Yorkshire and Humberside recorded the lowest price for unleaded at 134.9ppl. Northern Ireland also recorded the highest diesel price at 140.8ppl. Yorkshire and Humberside have the cheapest diesel at 139.0ppl.

Supermarket prices for unleaded rose by 0.5ppl to 133.5ppl. The gap between supermarket prices and the UK average for unleaded has fallen to 2.2ppl.
