Cheapest historical fuel prices found on Streetview

[FourWheelDrift]

Just been have a look around Google Streetview and noticed a petrol station with petrol at 89.9p (so streetview images around 5+ years ago)

Here - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=flore&hl=en&am...

Just as a bit of fun can anyone spot older and cheaper fuel prices advertised?

Can't beat that, although I think you'd be surprised how recently it was <90p a litre, it was certainly around that level 3 years ago (after the dip from the first >£1 spike in 2008).

Google mapping the Shell garage in Carlisle shows unleaded at 92.9 and diseasel at 100.9, I'd say this would have been march/april 2009.

edit - found a view from Penrith at 88.9!

Bottom left hand gives the image date as March 2009 so three years ago.

Didn't notice that, makes it even sadder.

But I might be cheating....

No wonder they're out of business

Slightly off topic but taken by me last week.



Guess it closed down 5-10years ago?

I remember filling up for 82.9p in Jan 09, but there seems to be a lack of streetview from that time, with the big cities being done mid 08, other areas after mid 09.

Hurrah for Merv for saving us from the dreaded DEFLATION!

My local Shell are showing 107.9 in 2009 for unleaded!
Theyve always been expensive

Thinking that the earliest imagery still used might be the first locations they covered but not yet updated I have been looking at London, imagery dated July 2008, but it's up at 119.9 - http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=Carlisle+Rd,+Londo...

Need to find/think of somewhere they did early on but outside a big city I think.
