Probably bought at the height of the prices and now refuses to sell at a loss no matter how long it takes to empty his tanks.

Possibly it’s only a small 2 pump setup tacked on the side of a garage. I doubt they earn much from it regardless.

It’s the summer holidays and your are trying to see some sort of trend when most people are simply not in the country, let alone doing their normal week.

Still 184.9 for diesel here in Morrisons, so they're still taking the ****.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?

Most?

dunno why I wrote most I think I started with normal week and swapped them around.

£1.65 for unleaded yesterday when I went past in my local Tesco

Still not as low as it should be. Been trying to manage my next fillup as heading to France tomorrow where its around £1.50/£1.55 a litre for diesel in the supermarkets there currently.
yes - most people holidaying in france are benefitting from their govt subsidy.

£1.56/l for regular E10 unleaded at a local station.

That’s pretty good.
I saw that a couple of Sainsburys are now circa £1.30 a litre for E10.
Still £1.65 here
I know not really fair, but £1.55.9 for Super at Costco last Friday.

Cheapest I’ve seen is 145.9 at Costco. My local Tesco has just dropped to 157. I was up near Gretna today and standard UL was still 166.9.

Similar story here, E10 dropped to £1.56.9 then back up a few pence two weeks later where it's stayed.
Read an interesting article earlier explaining how due to rising energy costs, petrol is getting more and more affordable as an alternative to public EV charging. Obviously for those who can charge at home there are decent savings still to be had from EVs but seem significantly diminished for those who don't have the option.
Obviously a different equation for performance cars, due to poor mpg, but if you're at 40mpg or above it's not THAT far behind, apparently.

Let’s not forget all the mining and environmental destruction to get the materials for batteries. Emissions are just being exported.
