£1.17 in Tesco at Hereford this wednesday.

Woody, Try the Super unleaded, its a bit more in price but you get a clean burn better performance and a few more MPG.**M**.

Merlin, I agree about T*sc* fuel. My car never performs properly with their fuel.
However, my reason for not buying supermarket fuel is simple. If they get the chance they will force the smaller outlets out of business, then they have the monopoly on prices. I prefer to pay an extra 1p per litre to a smaller outlet.

We live just 12 miles from the capital of the Highlands but don't have gas. LPG is far dearer than oil so oil it is, I'm afraid.

Florence, my sister stays in Stornoway so I know exctly what you mean re the prices. I travel to Skye at least once a month and last time petrol was £1.27 per litre. I guess it will be higher now.

Want a laugh? When Danny Alexander was campaigning for votes he promised to try to get a rural subsidy for fuel. Good, eh? Now that he's the Alliance's hitman there's not much chance of that! Mind you, there's also not much chance of him being re-elected next time round!

I pay £1.26.per litrefor Super unleaded.Would,nt use Tesco.last time it cost me quite a lot to get injection system sorted out as their petrol was dirty.**M**

Im on the Surrey/Greater London/M25 borders & its 117.9 in Tescos near me& they now have 5p off a ltr

Here, on the Kent/Greater London/M25 borders, it's 113p per litre for unleaded. Sounds as if we are doing OK compared to most.

Ooh I think it's about 27p per litre now, it went up recently.



Shall I get me coat?

Here in north Devon we're almost at the point where it is cheaper to go into the co-op store and buy a trolley of cooking oil to fill up the Landie.
I reckon the VAT rise in january will just about do it.

Here in NZ currently unleaded is approx $1.85 per litre and diesel is approx $1.25 per litre.

The price has recently gone up for us cos the government in its infinite wisdom decided to increase the excise tax on fuel and there is talk of it increasing further prior to christmas. OH reckons it will be $2.00 a litre by then.

I cant believe you still use oil for heating over there!

We all changed over to natural gas during the huge price rises in the 1970s!

Diesel was £117.5p at our As*a tonight. This is the site where you can find the cheapest near where you live.

mick, you're right, ridiculous for that price we could all have a car each in this family!!

ann we also have oil fired boiler. our tank is 1200 litres. i have just bought 600 litres for 52pence per litre, about £320.00. so that would be £1280.compared to your £1000.00. quite a difference.

we also have an open fire and burn peat and coal. had a lovely fire on tonight,it was so bitterly cold outside, really cosy indoors!

There is a site which tells you prices in your area - where the best buy is. Two separate branches of Tesco both 4-5 miles away from us give diferent prices - one is higher because its classified as a city!

Yes - the prices in rural Australia are just getting ridiculous! lololol

Mick........you cheeky monkey........thats about 65pence!

Petrol and diesel were both $1.17 a litre here last week.

Outrageous prices!

Looking at the sites it seems N. Ireland is the dearest place for fuel. We have an oil fired boiler and usually buy 2300 ltrs which costs over £1000.00..........so OH came up with the bright idea of purchasing 1200 in the hope that come the spring the prices will be down again........guess who will get a good nagging if his prediction is wrong!
