Default Fuel prices

As I was driving home tonight I went past a number of garages and just happened to notice the vast difference in the price of a litre of petrol. Prices ranged from £1.34 right up to about £1.41. the highest I've seen for diesel in this area is £1.47.

What are the prices like where you lot live?

Been to North Devon for the weekend, noticed petrol was from £1.42 to £1.47p. Diesel only 1 or 2 pence per litre higher. Ouch.

£1.33/L at the local Tesco. Kept my receipts for a year a while back, rose from 0.92p/L to £1.20/L over a year. Was 0.80p/L when I started driving in 2002.

134.9.
Dunno about diesel, I don't pay it attention. Although I did tell the attendant off today for having such a slimy forecourt. I warned him that a biker could fall off.....can't be that expensive if the garage can waste it coating the tarmac!

Its a stealth rise in price......people have given up complaining!
