useful little Linky for anyone wanting to check prices in their local area

I use this a lot, specially if i'm travelling. There's a link to the actual site at the bottom in red.

Yep Me Toooo, Swindon's Nice and Cheap!!.... Asda Walmart (24hr Pump) fluctuates between 85.9-86.9p for unleaded (dunno about Diesel as I use petrol!!)

Could pay 84.9 from Morrisons but I'm stuffed if I'm putting supermarket fuel in my beasties.

87.9 from Shell it is.

doesn't supermarkets use shell anyway?? Don't attack me, I'm genuinely asking

As I understand it they use the stuff which has sat about a bit longer so won't be as potent.

I may well be wrong. Anyway, filling up a Lotus at Morrisons is hardly the image I'm going for

Im glad we dont have those prices down here.
I wish we had your car prices though
Why are your petrol prices so high? I would have thorght you would be cheaper then us

Australia is a big country, people have to drive miles and so the tax can be lower as the government still gets a good tax return due to people driving long distances just to see friends etc. Same as USA.

Over here its a lot more crowded, people don't drive as far and so taxes are higher.

That's one way of looking at it anyway

Simon · 24 Feb 2006 at 14:23

Heres a question then:

Would you like all your journeys to be made twice as long and tax on fuel to be halved.

No you wouldn't as this would cost you more in petrol, but the government get less tax so this is good right ?

89.9 for unleaded 93.9 for super unleaded and 93.9 for diesel at tesco here.

FakeSnake · 24 Feb 2006 at 14:40

38.8p / Litre here

for 1 tank of petrol, I can get almost 3 tanks of LPG, and get about 35miles less per tank on LPG
Gotta love it

Zip · 24 Feb 2006 at 14:42

I bet america only pays about 10p a litre
It would be nice to have petrol the same (low) price right around the world

Current price is about US $2.15 / gallon, which comes to 33p / litre.

Remember, though, we don't have anywhere near the convenience of public transportation that you do.

teaboy5 · 24 Feb 2006 at 17:25

lol you are all complaining about paying 88-90p. Wait and see what it is gonna be in about 4-5 years time. Then we can all cry together.
