142.9 for diesel - anyone beat that?

[tonym911]

Spotted in the Esso garage on the A36 between Warminster and Salisbury yesterday - a notoriously expensive Esso place I was boycotting long before the email went round asking everyone to boycott them.

Can anybody beat this? And can anyone explain why the gap between diesel and petrol prices is widening (again)?

The chaps from the Hebrides I sail with have been paying over 150p for a few months now; probably up to 160 by now.

Not recently, I try to avoid filling up on the motorway, but they're in outer space as prices go generally so I don't really count them.

I've not seen it that high yet, but I have noticed the supermarkets are a few pence more per litre than the smaller places, round my way at least.

goverment has said that fuel duty to be cut/ put on hold for remote communities..
eg Hebrides etc

yes try the bp garage at warminster services , the diesel in there is 144 a litre ......lol

[Negative Creep]

Don't worry lads, as soon as this useless Labour government is kicked out watch the price tumble and a fairer deal for all.




Oh, wait a second.............

I'll sell it to you for 189.9ppl if you want? Note that this is an exclusive PH offer only available up until the point it does actually cost 189.9ppl!

Cheers,

Yes... 148.9...

[jannthaman]

Lol try a Gulf garage in Cardiff by radyr which diesel is £1.54
Petrol £1.49

[refoman2]

£1-48 for diesel in the only petrol station in Marlborough in Wiltshire,but theyve always been way over priced compared to anyone else.

but heres the mentality of people and how much the majority of the population dont care about fuel prices; driving through Wootton Bassett yesterday morning there are 2 petrol stations within a couple of hundred yards of each other,one selling petrol for £1-34 the other for £1-40, so why would anyone actually be anywhere near the more expensive when a matter of seconds away its much cheaper,yet there were still cars on the more expensive forecourt!

Company fuel cards and, those that take an Harrods bag when shopping at Tescos.

It was up in the £1.52-£1.55 range near Ullapool, Scotland, for unleaded (i was on my Triumph)... didn't take any notice of the diesel.

[Evo]

Yes, I had to pay 148.9 for diesel at Clackett lane Services, it's 142.9 locally though.

£149.9 at south mimms truck stop on saturday night... No wonder our firm is going bust lol

[Pistachio]

£149.9 Pulborough West Sussex

[vit4]

£142.9 for normal unleaded. Arse end of nowhere, independant garage. If I were loaded it would've been worth it lovely garage.

[isxrc]
