Petrol Price Watch
 
We keep hearing about how the Petrol price has come down, but have you noticed how much its gone back up just over the last 2/3 weeks? This Morning the Shell Garage on Burnley road was selling at 88.9p petrol, and 98.9p diesel. It was 5p per litre cheaper 3 weeks ago..why? Has this price rise been mirrored throughout the UK?

Might be an idea to keep posting on here which are the Cheapest Prices in the Accy Area so we can avoid getting ripped off!

So where are the Cheapest places for Petrol and Diesel at the moment?

i know this may sound totally stupid but....Richard prefers going to a Shell garage than say Tesco or Asda, he says the quality of diesel is a lot better at Shell than the cheapness of the supermarkets....does this make any sense?

he would rather pay a few pence extra per litre for the Disco to have decent fuel

Makes a lot of sense, when I was driving for a living I could tell when my wagon was filled with Shell diesel, I now only buy from Shell garages

Be helpful when people fill up at their favoured garages to make a note of the price and post it on here!

My fella for some reason wont use Tesco, he says everytime he went there something went wrong with the car!:eek:

So he uses Asda in blackburn, and when the accy one opens he will use that.

I noticed the one on blackburn rd shut!

Fuel is bought in grades, the cheaper the fuel, the lower the grade, some really cheap stuff will have contaminents like water in it, as for prices, this is the way they operate, government, gas/electricity suppliers, supermarkets, etc, poll tax was a prime example, it was ten times the amount paid in rates, after the furor, the council tax was brought in somewhere around half the price, people accepted it without question, even though it was still much much more than the original rates system, the gas went up 100 percent, came down about 10%, and will creep back up again, just like the petrol did.

I've noticed the price of unleaded has gone up 4p per litre this week at the Shell garage on Burnley road. Was 87.9p now 91.9p dont see any reason for this other than greed. At moment its still 88.9p at Esso garage on Abbey Street.
