This was the same Shell that had diesel cheaper then petrol for a time.

Listening to the news today it seems that for independents they are paying 98p per litre cost. There is scope over Christmas for the supermarkets to hit a 99.9p point in the week before to draw in shoppers. I'm not sure what Shell's strategy is, they always seem the same as Tesco so I tend to stop there.

ASDA dropped the price of petrol to 101.7p today. Wonder why you paid more.

Would be nice to get 2 full tanks in a row for under £1/l after catching Asda's last deal

If I'm right it's double discount on Friday for asda employees. Probably be at £0.997 Friday morning.

$1.87

It's ok. You can have people like Trump running for president.

Yup already started - filled up this morning

Typical. I had to fill up Weds morning. Guess they're going to be rammed this weekend. Oddly they've decided to refurb both the Asda's petrol stations near me.... At the same time (Both Brighton branches). One was closed for 2 months the other one opened up again last month. It re-opens on the 15th Dec however it looked completed yesterday when I did the shopping so maybe they'll open early for this weekend.

At first glance I thought the sign was broken!

Not seen it under 1.00 for a while myself, though it probably has been and I just missed it

How long before the government decide they aren't making enough off fuel any more and pump the duty up a bit?
