Fuel up/down again

yeah same haha

Also kind of goes against their continual bleating that they don't make much money from actual fuel sales and it's all the shop items that they make money from. If this really was the case, why would they be encouraging people not to go into the shop at all?

Do people still go into the shop at petrol stations? I just pay at the pump...

Hmm completely forgot about cashback

I guess I can ditch the new scheme idea then

Not every petrol station has pay at pump.

I find that 95% of the time I fill up the pay at pump isn't working.

I won't go to a petrol station that doesn't do pay at the pump (unless desperate obviously).

Asda petrol stations all have pay at the pump and there's plenty of those around.

I prefer pay at pump as I generally don't like the shops at petrol stations.
In Belgium last month, we never saw any petrol station shops open apart from on the motorway services - they were all shuttered up, they were mostly unattended pay at a touch screen kiosk in the centre of the forecourt before you fill and you entered the pump no. of the pump you were parked at.

Asda don't do a 'Super' high octane fuel which some of us use though?

Just drove past a Shell in Buckingham that has both unleaded and diesel at 117.9ppl, first time I think I've ever seen them at the same price

Clarkey · 22 Jul 2015 at 11:25

Most around here are the same price now, pretty sure I saw one with diesel cheaper too.

Diagro · 22 Jul 2015 at 14:34

Garages around here have Diesel 2-3P cheaper than petrol....

Just refilled at £1.20 for Tesco99. Managed 34.8MPG this tank full.

£1.249 - Still getting raped on V-Power though.

hah. Why not just use Momentum99??

adam cool dude · 22 Jul 2015 at 15:31

Is this going to be a permanent thing with diesel being cheaper than petrol? Seems this country is doing everything it can to stop the petrol motorist!

sparkymark75 · 22 Jul 2015 at 16:06

On the contrary, diesel used to be cheaper than petrol and on the continent, diesel is cheaper than petrol. In this country, it's the both fuel users that have been ripped off!

Clarkey · 22 Jul 2015 at 16:11

It has nothing to do with the country, diesel is cheaper wholesale now due to increased refining capacity in the middle east. In fact, there is a lot of pressure to implement a blanket ban on diesel cars in London.

snips86x · 22 Jul 2015 at 16:13

Petrol: 114.9
Diesel: 114.9

:eek:

Nearest Tesco station is 3 miles away in the opposite direction of work. With my rubbish MPGz it's probably cheaper to fill up at either of the shell's on my doorstep.

LoadsaMoney · 22 Jul 2015 at 20:29

114 Petrol.
112 Diesel.

Around Sunderland.

LPG was 49.4p in ASDA the other day, it's bringing the X5 closer and closer to 30MPG (cost equivalent) round town ;d

Yup. Filled up at Asda High Wycombe yesterday @49.7p. 10p ish/mile fuel cost at, ahem, average nighttime M40 3rd lane crew speeds
