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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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