Fuel Costs

[Anonymous]

You get a little bored at reviewing fuel costs at your local Filling Station; fluctuating almost daily , but around where I live , , the price seems to hover at approximately £1.34 per Litre......However, I was travelling to Bristol this morning , passing through the village of Pilning, (Approx 3 miles from Cribbs Causeway Shopping Mall), and was Flabergasted, (Never before has my Gasted been so Flabbered ! ! ), when I saw that the small Petrol station in that village was selling at 149.9 per litre. Hells bells, dont you think this is a little excessive ?
What I dont understand is why do the locals buy fuel there, when only 3 miles away in Cribbs is a Morrisons & an Asda s/Markets selling at £1.32 / litre ! !¬

Maybe the answer lays in the services being offered by the independent filling station. Or loyalty comes into play. Remember fuel shortages? As a regular of my local independent I and his other regulars continued to get our tanks filled as normal and without having to join ridiculously long queues either. Cheapest is rarely value for money. :evil:

1.34 would be nice - here in cambridge you don't see anything below 1.36 - apparently it's because there is no asda petrol station nearby which forces prices down. i go back to nottingham and can get premium for less than that!

My local Esso charge £1.29 for unleaded and £1.33 for premium unleaded.
Asda is £1.32
Tesco £1.34
All within 1/2 mile of each other.

Another Tesco garage charge £1.35 about 2 miles up the road ?
