It is the norm just before a budget,petrol stations do their robbing followed by the govenment.

Do you think the V power fuel makes any difference? I have tried it a couple of times and the only difference I can feel is in my wallet

We're sitting at around 1.35-1.40Euro over here for the last month or so for the super (which means normal back in the UK) unleaded, Super Plus (our super) as always has a 6p/litre premium on top of that...

i have to run it due to high boost will make a differance to most cars but can take a few tanks for the ecu to advance the timing to 'release' the power advantage.

Yeah it does make a difference and I will say on my stage 3 Saab 9-3 motor way miles at 70mph will increase the mpg by around 6-11mpg but overall if town driving I will hold my hands up and say sod it normal all the way. But if planning a trip then run a few tanks and enjoy, either more mpg or mor bhp.

Sainsburys Aberdeen today, unleaded was 110.9 a litre, (£5.04 a gallon), Shell garage up the road on the A90 southbound 5p more as always.

This time last year I was paying 87.9 a litre (£4.00 a gallon).

Looking to my jaunt to Seattle this year, sod the air fare, just looking forward to the petrol prices when I fill up the chariot over there.

fk me, that's what I paid today, and thought it was expensive, compared to the 75p or so we paid over winter. Fukkin tourists will be coming over soon, price always goes up then, last summer it got to nearly a pound a litre. Never mind, LPG is still only 56p a litre, thank gord I got it converted.
