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?

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

thanx Ken, he's not going crazy then? lol

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Never seen a diesel powered disco,have you got a piccy?:D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Disco - Discovery
Thats what I took it as

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

I use this most days to check where cheapest is
Free UK fuel prices. 9,642 petrol stations covered - PetrolPrices.com

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Yep Ive used that a few times but they are always a bit out of date. Checked it today and their prices arnt correct.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Well we use Tesco religiously because we are clubcard point maniacs..............and they are double at the moment.:D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Keep well away from the BP near the cinema , its always a lot dearer than any other in accy...........

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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!

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

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.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

87.9 at Rising Bridge Shell yesterday..............

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

diesil still 95.9 in preston at two of the shell garages if your going that way but one of teh shell garages on blackpool road is 98.9 for some reason

petrol prices are accordingly cheaper but due to not using it i dont take note


maybe when asda open theirs tey will have a special offer and force reductions in accy which is always teh more expensive and last to reduce prices

mind you judging by how teh asda one is set out it may not even be worth using asda any more as theres going to be some very long ques just to get out of teh place

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

The Shell Garage on the way out of Blackpool just before the Motorway always seems to be a few pence cheaper than any in Accy too! Very annoying why diesel is now more expensive than petrol too!

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

yet another example of increased tax under the guise of been for our own good and the enviroments

the govenment knows damn well increasing the price wont reduce our usage of fuel but will gladly reap the extra tax gained under been green the biggest con ever

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Your not accusing the Government of duplicity are you accyman:rolleyes:

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Just a question: when you buy gas, does the pump show the octane rating of the fuel you are buying?

Price at the pumps for me yesterday .... 74.6 per litre .... that's in cents by the way;)

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Diesel is 96.9 at asda accrington :D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Its bad enough getting on and off there as it is so now thats open it will be murder, i reluctantly went on friday and it was a free for all......

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

lets be honest its still about 7p a per litre too much but thats the greedy fuel companies fault , they seem to think that passing on just a part of the savings they make when the oil pricess dropped is fair :rolleyes:

its about time oil companies were scruitinised a lot more closely and restrictions on how much they can charge but since when has the motorist ever got a fair deal :mad:

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

i certainly wont be going there saturday afternoon or tea times during the week

as for buying fuel there i cant see any savings been made simply because you will burn any savings away while you que for ever to get off the petrol station never mind the carpark :rolleyes:

very badly planned,asda have been pushing for the petrol station for years and all they will probably acheive is more traffic jams

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

So how much is it for unleaded then at Asda accy?

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Dunno, never look at the price for unleaded (I drive a diesel). Was just happy i'd remembered the price for diesel :rolleyes:

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

When I drove by yesterday it was 87.9p.

i have never noticed any difference in quality of petrol i have bought, from Shell, Asda, Esso, Tesco etc, they all seem the same to me.
Our current car wants to run the expensive 99 ron stuff, it gets 95 and is happy with it. I have had several cars that need the special stuff and all have run fine on petrol bought anywhere, even supermarkets.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Whilst in the Fire Brigade we had a tour of the refinery at Hesham. One thing I noticed, tankers of all brands were leaving the refinery, Shell, Esso, etc. They all stopped in the layby, the drivers would then climb on top with a five gallon jerry can and add a coloured dye.

They all left the refinery from the same filling points, yet when they delivered it was as a specific brand.
The only difference these days is the octain rating and unleaded, diesels diesel, no matter where it comes from, those of other qualities are for farm tractors or stationary engines.

Retlaw.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

In Spain Diesel is always 5 points cheaper than Petrol.
Must be a sting in the tail somewhere?

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Diesel used to be cheaper than petrol here didnt it??

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Used the Asda garage on way home last night, Unleaded 87.9p and Diesel 96.9p, its an unmanned station so you have to use your card at the pump to fill up. I say unmanned, but there is a chap there to help you use the pump or if you've any probs with your card, he's in a little hut there, but you cant pay by cash! Nightime probably best time to go as i can imagine when Asda is at its busiest it would be a nightmare! Its a little exposed, even though theres a roof, and i got soaked last night filling up, so pick the more central pumps if its raining!

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Retlaw, thanks for confirming my suspicions, I did wonder!!;)

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Shock, Horror...............BP (Margram) is 1 penny cheaper than Asda for unleaded today.......although Diesel is 1 penny more......:rolleyes:

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

At Last! A price War!!!.....well OK more of a squabble really!!:D But owt that helps bring priced down at the moments good news eh!


Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Petrol Price Watch

Re: Petrol Price Watch

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Went past margram last night and they were still 1p cheaper than asda :D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

This is what we want, Margram have always annoyed me with their prices so i stopped going....although now i may be going back.....and Nectar points too.:D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Seriously thinking of going there myself :D

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Don't know price of petrol but Asda's diesel is 2p cheaper than Margram, or it was a couple of hours ago

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

Only checked unleaded MITZY don't know about the price of diesel.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

They are still a penny cheaper than Asda for unleaded today, first time i've used them in ages. It used to be the Petrol Station near Express gifts that was always cheapest but they arnt anymore, over 94p unleaded at moment, Burnley Road Shell garage also at 93.9p.

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

I saw on the news last night that oil companies are struggling (poor souls! :rolleyes: ), because oil is down to $50 a barrel.... so who is gaining all the extra money aprt from the government, the government, oh, and the government!?

Re: Petrol Price Watch

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

I agree Jaysay, but unfortunately, I dont see that David's crew would lower the price if they were in power tomorrow either!

Re: Petrol Price Watch

Thanks all

Re: Petrol Price Watch

Best Regards - Taggy

Re: Petrol Price Watch
 

the two best places in the accy area are asda and the shell gargage at rising bridge as they are usually the cheapest and are occasionaly the same price

there is one in haslingden that is advertising 0.99 per liter for petrol but the pumps are always covered but i heard a RUMOUR that he only serves it to taxi drivers but wether theres any truth to the rumour i dont know

Re: Petrol Price Watch

so my suggestions are either .

a: clear out the boot

b: get a divorce :)

Re: Petrol Price Watch
