Rip Off Pertrol prices still?

[aeonf242]

has anyone noticed that some places still have sky high petrol rpices?

I suppose it'll be the smaller chains, etc.

I've just bought some Unleaded from Clacket lane services on the M25 for ...100.9p per litre

I know motorway services are normally rip offs but thats' mad but that's 13% higher than our lcoal ASDA.

Gone down at my local BP station from 99.9p to 96.9p now.

The fact that some of the larger retailers were able to drop 4p off the price of petrol overnight when the recent attempted fuel protests did not kick off suggests to me there was some profiteering going on. Petrol in town was 92.9p last time I filled up, which is relatively "cheap" from what I see around.

89.9 here on Teesside but the odd place is still at 94.9 or 97.9

89.9p in sainsburys and shell in swansea

[aeonf242]

I actually saw one village station selling diesel for £1.12!!!!

[schmunk]

It's about 89.9 round here (North West London / Herts)

not that expensive -

1 litre of petrol is taken from the ground, refined, delivered 100s of miles and taxed massively

1 litre of 'spring' water is nicked free of charge from the ground and put in a plastic bottle and sent 30 miles down the road

which is cheaper

Economies of scale mate, Oil has trillions in it a year, water cant have more then billions in it.

More can be spent on the oil ,so it can be done more efficiently, more cheaply. Shazzam, cheap petrol

[Howard]

93.9 most places round here

[Stringent]

91.9 - 95.9 around me, although I haven't filled up in a bit. Actually I think this thread has reminded me to get petrol before I go out tonight!

Thank you Hexus. Who needs Outlook calendar?

Whilst on holiday, I noticed that other countries were more expensive such as Iceland, Faroe/Shetland islands and Norway.....

That was at the time of the Iraq War thing...........

Price has something to do with Kyoto agreement , attempting to discourage car usage.

So when do the Hydrogen and/or solar powered cars go into full production?

So much cheaper running them and a free drink when you're thirsty.......
