That cheap membership is for online shopping only. Its much more expensive for in-store and petrol

Its ~£30 for membership, not bad value. I used to use it loads in the summer, great for stocking on stuff for parties, and its always been good for general household supplies.

individual allows access to petrol?

Tinders · 5 Aug 2022 at 12:27

Yes it does. Just beware, the queues on a weekend are mad.

191.9 for diesel in Morrisons, still feels like a rip off.

That's what it is round here almost everywhere. Shell still at 192.9 for some reason.

170p for diesel in Costco today, 159p for petrol, we were like ooh that reasonable before recalling, oh it's still a good 30p too high

Doobedoo · 7 Aug 2022 at 10:37

Something tells me some are still profiting judging by these price differences. A few p here and there fine but 20p that’s not right.

200sols · 7 Aug 2022 at 10:40

Falling market is better for retailers that is no secret but 20p does indeed take the pee.

Set up a dormant company and you can get Trade membership just by showing your company house certificate.

Heck you can even get Booker cash&carry membership just by showing letterhead paper and business card. I got B&Q Trade Point membership just by uploading a PDF letterhead I knocked up in 2 minutes.

Overnight shell went from 184 to 175 so that means everyone else should be at 170mark now

Diesel near me finally dropped below 190 today. Unleaded 177. This is esso.

I just paid 189.9 for premium unleaded, regular was (I think) 173.9

173.9 cheapest around here now at Sainsbury's

All quite closely aligned here. 173.9 for regular, 183.9 for momentum.

Coming down but not fast enough (inb4 it's what's in the tanks already).

Got a full tank of momentum @ 178.9 pl

I guess this thread going quiet is an indication prices have been dropping all over the country

The lowest I've seen around here now is £1.61 for regular unleaded, but I'm bumping the thread as I just got an email from our fuel card company saying they are expecting prices they are charging to rise ~5p from Sunday.

Seems a little against the grain since the oil price is still falling isn't it?

thought the one thing we'd learned was the price is pushed up by a) price of oil & b) whatever the garage figures it can get away with charging

local prices around me havn't really dropped much, were still at 174/184

Doobedoo · 18 Aug 2022 at 12:11

Small independent garage the other day was charging £1.99 for both.

The guys a right miserable sod so I suspect he doesn’t really care wether people come or not.

Siliconslave · 18 Aug 2022 at 12:17

theres always little garages like that, can never work out why they do it & how they survive unless they are the only place for miles
