Regional petrol price variations- what do you pay?

[mr2aw11]

"Inspired" by this morning's fill up, and the realisation that a £70 tank is imminent, what do you pay, for what, and where?

My usual is BP Ultimate, from a garage in Egremont, West Cumbria: 148.9p/litre this morning.
One of the few positives of visiting the Out-laws in Carlise (<40mi away) is that I can treat the car to V-Power at a good 5-8p/litre cheaper. And I consistently get more miles to a tank with Shell...

It's 134.9 here (Gateshead) for regular unleaded, dropped from 136.9 in the last couple of weeks.

I always try and fill up if I am incidentally near a cheaper petrol station, if I am half tank or below.

There's a fair difference locally between Super Unleaded prices between Total and Tesco. But Sainsbury's are always the cheapest, since their premium fuel premium is only 3p rather than 5p at Tesco or 8p at Total/Shell. Shell seems to give the best MPG, but Sainsbury's/Tesco are close enough that I am happy with those. (All Super Unleaded only).

Here in Warrington at my two local stations it's 1.329 and 1.339 for unleaded, and 1.359 and 1.369 for diesel.

^^ Unfortunately the Supermarkets only do std unleaded locally - one of the problems in living off the beaten track... Doesn't do much for competition...

The 5 that are within a mile of me in Liverpool:

• 132.7p (Asda)
• 132.9p (Morrisons)
• 132.9p (Shell)
• 134.9p (Total)
• 139.9p (BP)

I go to the Shell one for the VPower at 137.9p

Edited to amend the BP price which is 2p/litre higher than I thought

True. Where I live, the only place with Super is Total - which is hideously overpriced.

Luckily Tesco where I work has got me covered on most occasions.

[Kiltox]

132.9 in Alloa (Morrisons)

Apologies for the duplicate thread- my phone lost signal on the original posting, went a bit nuts... Anyway, seems Cumbria's a tad expensive! Not entirely surprising, given the County's road infrastructure.

Only lists 2 of the 5 garages I've listed in my area, and doesn't have Asda listed as selling super (which is does) or the Shell which has VPower cheaper than Asda has Super.

found its not always accurate though

131.7 at Asda
132.9 at Total
133.9 at Shell
135.9 at Texaco
135.9 at Murco
and BP is always something silly (like the others aren't ) but the Escort runs a hell of a lot better on it so usually end up stumping up

[ZOLLAR]

Standard unleaded in swansea about £1.33-£1.37

[AndyT77]

My local unleaded price is £1.329 at Morrisons and Sainsburys.

[Electric Beaver]

£127.9 at the local sainsburys and tescos and £130.9 for the premium stuff West Auckland if anyone is interested
