£107.9/104.9 is ridiculous.


tell me about it...strange that UL is higher than diesel too...

I can now, saw 107 for diesel on the way home tonight!!

What also seems stupid is that near me there is an Esso and a Texaco at opposite ends of a one mile straight. Texaco is 2p per litre more for petrol and has been for the last few weeks, even when Esso change theirs. Every morning and night Esso is packed while at Texaco you can see the tumbleweeds blowing. How on earth can the extra money from 2p a litre possibly make up for all the lost litres?!

Actually when you realise time is short, fun is crucial and my first objective.

For the extra 30p per tank, I'd go to the quiet station
