lpg suddenly got expensive

[Smint]

Well comparatively so, Morrisons just raised it 9p per litre where i live to 72.9.
Looking on the lpg filling station app it seems it can be getting on for £1 a litre where it's rarer to find and in one or two isolated cases well over the £1 figure.

Been expecting this for a while but still a bit of a shock, ok its still around half the price of petrol, so far.

That's extremely high. I had an lpg converted bmw and normally bought fuel from morrisons for 55p a litre however experienced ongoing issues with a failed head gasket and over pressurised coolant system and so have not run it on lpg for a year but it was 55p around 18 months ago. To my surprise and disappointment I found Shell had stopped selling the fuel too last year so I then it meant just two stations sold this in two different towns 15 miles apart. I think shell dropping it will kill its popularity even further.

This caught me out the other day, been using LPG on my truck for the last 2-3 years, very happy in that a 250 mile-ish range cost about £35.

Now see it's in the £55 region for the same amount, gone from 52p to 72p at the Asda I use.

For ages it was roughly half the price of petrol at most supermarket type places, for the last couple of years it has been below half price, now its back to half, stupid prices at some of the remaining fuel company filling stations, presumably so overpriced they won't sell any giving them the ideal reason to stop selling it altogether.
Not complainingabout Morrisons etc price increase really, its just a bit of shock when it rises overnight some 13/15%, there are still relatively cheap suppliers in some midland cities and good luck to those who can benefit.

I hope it isn't phased out completely from the few supermarkets still selling, i wrote and asked Asda when they were rebuilding the town filling station if they would consider putting LPG tanks in, they'd have cleaned up around here where there are many east europeans with converted cars (notwithstanding the adaptor issue), sadly no joy but they went fully automated card only anyway due to low life thieves who had previously targetted the out of the way pay point several times.

I passed the Shell station on the Shinfield Road in Reading at the weekend, caught my eye as I can't remember the last time I passed any station that listed their LPG price, was 89.9.
