Cheapest & Most Expensive Petrol in UK

Just a daft little blog. I'm curious to see what 1 litre of normal unleaded costs around the county.

I have just passed my local Tesco in South Gloucestershire, and its £1.07p per Litre

Cheapest I have found 'locally' is £1.04p per litre

Cheers,

B

I filled up my van today in Uckfield and saw the price (diesel) was 114.9
Petrol was 107.9





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

got diesel at 111.9 yesterday and a colleague told me he stopped and then drove off (without refilling) when he saw the diesel was 117.9 at a texaco near the office.





beware, I've got yellow skin

This is not a bragging post, so please don't see it as that.

I paid 53.9 today for LPG which is as bad as it gets around here. I suppose it's still half of petrol - ish.

I paid 118.? just this morning! Diesel.

Filled the tank up and it came to just over £70.

Nice. I drive 200 miles a day to work too so 1000 miles a week is never going to sit well financially!

bets price for diesel 110.9 worst 114.2

Has anyone notice how much it varies not 3 or 4 pence per litre, where before we hit a £1/L it was only 1/2 pence

Rusty,

Was that at the petrol station on the Cranbrook side of Goudhurst or the other side at the bottom of Goudhurst hill?

I'll avoid, if poss.

I have filled the tank in my Espace twice since I've had it and it's cost me £161.5

I agree Rob, its like the government managed to hitch it up over the pound and then had a big sigh as if the toughest part of the battle was over with, now it seems 2....3..........4 pence per litre is small fry incraments.

It really pisses me off!

There appears to be no widespread resistance to it though, thats whats needed.

And everyone here in the Great South Land is complaining because we're sitting at around $1.50 / litre. I think that's around .7 of your pounds.

My mate was telling me a guy who rents some space on the farm has just paid £2,700 for 10 days worth of fuel. he runs a grab wagon locally and a few diesel Kango vans. I dont think he ever goes out of the county. Over £7000 a month just on the fuel

Madness.

Not really sure as I don't know the area but it was an old style village garage which was on my left as I passed it . Nice part of the country though.
