Costco still lowest I think petrol wad 144 when I bought a few days ago.

I paid 139.9 for UL at Oldham Costco. It’s an absolute joke how the price shoots up like a rocket and barely drops.

I noticed that Petrol & Diesal prices were the same for a minute, now it has swung back to Diesal being £160+ again. Madness for thosee of you that fill up every other day.

It's amazing when your running the country doing small jobs how much you do use. I just looked again while getting some Air from the local.
£1.67 ltr again!

It's also not easy to shop around, as you lose more fuel travelling around. Been using a petrol price app from the play store and it's been good. I really hope we have the same system as they have in Europe where they show petrol prices on Google maps!

I paid £1.91 for V Power last week. Only when I had half a tank in I realised.

Fuel prices fall after petrol stations given 'good prod' by regulator

The drop in fuel costs comes ahead of the government planning to force retailers to share daily price data, with the Competition and Markets Authority set to be given greater power to report on any unjustified increases.
