The disparity between unleaded and diesel fuel is definitely wider in Accrington than other places, and the price is also higher.

For the last two days, I have been working in a factory near to Shipley, West Yorkshire. On the way there, on the outskirts of Keighley, I spotted a Total garage selling unleaded at 76.9 pence per litre and diesel at 80.9 pence per litre. Directly across the road was a Shell garage selling both flavours of fuel at exactly the same price as their competitor.

The price of diesel is of interest to me, as I drive a Peugeot oil-burner. At this Total garage it is 6 pence per litre cheaper than Church Hall filling station, which incedentally is also a Total filling station. In old numbers, that is 27 pence per gallon cheaper.

Don't just blame the Chancellor for exhorbitant fuel costs, greedy vendors have to take their rightful part of the blame.
