No idea but now I don't have any shell garages near me now and I always liked going there as they were the same price as asda and 1p litre cheaper than tesco.
now I have 2 BP's/jet and total which are 3-4p more than Tesco and I cant use asda pay at the pump only garage as there stupid pumps wont take my card

Probably! My polo only holds like 45l so it probably makes no difference, but I like coke :)

According to petrolprices.com Asda is the cheapest (as usual) at 134.7p.

We've been gaining Shell garages around here. We had a Waitrose in town, a Shell one way down the A11 and a Total the other way.

In the last year or so the Shell was given a refit, the Total switched to Shell, then the Waitrose became a Shell as well. Spoilt for choice when I need V-Power now :p

The BP almost directly opposite the Shell (on the other carriageway a few hundred yards down) has almost always been a few ppl more than the Shell, as they're right between a pair of junctions it's no real bother to turn around so I make a point of using the Shell even when I'm going the 'wrong' way.

Who thinks it'll hit £2/L for regular unleaded in 2015?

That'd be a sequential 20% increase. More of a shock event then the inflation thats occurring

5.3% annual inflation is 'normal' and takes petrol to 200p by the end of the decade. That would just be performance to expectations

Our stated CPI might be lower but we dont produce oil (mostly)
CPI has food, clothes which we can produce and increase production of and so those costs are controllable.

£2 is possible sooner or optimistically we could find more oil in UK waters but probably not and shale gas looks to be going very slow. I have a LPG car still though not on the road used, I assume LPG will just rise in line with petrol as its a derivative :/
Ditto Diesel though Essar @Stanlow I think will be importing it to help counter higher prices that would result from lack of UK refinement

One of my local garages has recently been refitted and Shell-branded. The refit has brought about slower service at the checkouts, a crappier shop layout and higher fuel prices. They've finally fixed their air and water machine though!


I can't even remember how much fuel is around here. I tend not to look.
 
136.9 Regular Fuelsave at Shell. The Vpower in the same garages seems to be regular shell, or is it my head?

I've been using it regularly, and it seems to be just regular unleaded? I finally used a different garage and it's given me the performance increase/throttle response I expected. Very strange.
 
The disparity in prices is really quite shocking, I filled up in Birmingham for £1.337 and coming back into Cambridge I noticed it was £1.429 :eek:

When did Sainsburys change from charging 3p to 5p extra for 97RON? I always liked cheapo Sainsbury's super now and again.

Few months back, so I stopped buying it as there is little point when Tesco 99 has the same 5p premium.

Fuel prices have further to rise, not only has the price of oil risen but its then more expensive for us as sterling continues to slide against the dollar.

Never mind, sure the BoE knows what it's doing.
