Cheap Fuel
Don’t know if this is the cheapest fuel on offer at the moment?
Unleaded £1.42.9
Diesel £1.51.9
I filled up when passing yesterday!
A41 2 miles south of Whitchurch. Shropshire
Anyone buying it cheaper?

Disgraceful how diesel has remained around 25p a litre more expensive than petrol everywhere & the companies are raking in double the profits.....
+ the price of a barrel is down by a 3rd
If prices had come down a 3rd from £2 a litre we should be paying no more than £1.40!!!
Diesel around here is still £1.73+

It depends where you are, Kasspa. Ours isn't a cheap area for fuel but petrol is around £1.47 and diesel £1.67.

I've heard of the Whitchurch place - it occasionally pops up on my Facebook. Howe er, it's rather too far for us to go to fill up.
For anyone who is interested, it may well be worth downloading the PetrolPrices app onto your phone. It will tell you the cheapest fuel in your area... you can put in the type of fuel and the distance you are willing to travel from your current location (or any other location you wish).
Just a thought....

Still in the low to mid £1.70's down this part of the world. Bit of a joke as the Esso refinery isn't far away so it can't be blamed on distribution costs.

For anyone using the A38 through Devon, the Trago Mills filling station is usually around 7p/litre cheaper than our lowest prices locally in Cornwall.
Take the Newton Abbot road at Drumbridges-turn of for Trago at next roundabout, opposite entrance to Stover..
You can check on petrolprices.com, but please note it can be busy!

I noticed on Watchdog on the One Show last night Matt Allwright was saying that the fuel companies are quick to put prices up but much slower to put them down despite falls in the wholesale market.
By what some of you are paying for fuel, we must be being ripped off in MK as I paid £1.52 a litre for petrol a couple of days ago. Fortunately I don't do many miles in my car so the price is not a massive issue for me but can see how it could be for those that do higher mileage. The motorhome is a different kettle of fish!

...at the moment our cheapest is Asda at 146.7 (petrol) and 167.7 (diesel). Just across the main road in Ventura Park is Sainbury's... 146.9 (petrol) and 167.9 (diesel)...., for the extra .2 of a p, you get the Nectar points Mind you, I do sometimes use the local Esso, and the 4p off a litre with the Fuelpecker card. This sometimes works out slightly cheaper.

The fuel price at D A Roberts... the Essar garage near Whitchurch is showing at 142.9 for petrol and 150.9 for diesel. If this garage can charge these prices then is it unreasonable to expect others to charge the same (or similar)?
There is also a much bigger price gap between petrol and diesel than ever there used to be. In fact, I can remember the time when diesel was cheaper than petrol..... then I bought a diesel car and look what happened!! 🤣🤣🤣

Interestingly, as an aside, my son works for a national company with uses a particular van and all staff used to fill up with diesel at a budget supermarket near their depot. After several engine failures and many problems with injectors they issued everybody with cards from a well known fuel company after advice from the van manufacturers. They would not mention the actual supermarket but said no fuel was to be purchased from any supermarket supplier.

fwiw ….
Maybe I’m just unlucky, as a longer term same car owner, but a long while back after saving a little on cheaper Supermarket fuel then had two expensive emission related repairs ( garage said caused by long term use of poor or dirty fuel).
So will only now pay a little extra for a branded upmarket grade fuel, normally Shell V Power (as Garage advised).
My 2013 MB ML Euro 6 AdBlue dirty diesel runs much smoother, has better mpg of 27 towing / 42 solo and returns almost zero MOT emissions annually.
Equally now find the recent E10% Petrol (mistakenly filled with) causes pinking and rough running on my Up! and modest RE motorcycle.Each to their own choice though ….

I am still using the CAMC Esso fuel card. Paid £148.9 in Yeovil Somerset last Tuesday, the pump price was £1.52.9. Today I go in again today passed the stn and its now £149.9 so the discount price 4 p off £144.9. The local Asda was £154.7 today. This is for diesel.

....so do I coachmanbutch. I still wonder what will happen when my card expires. Strictly speaking, they are not accepting new customers from the CAMC, but will existing cards be renewed...?? I recon I might be able to guess the answer... 🙁

I paid £1.639 for diesel yesterday at a BP garage on the A5, its a penny more locally with one garage cheaper than the supermarkets who are stil charging £1.659. Perhaps it is all down to when their storage tanks are refilled and until then the old higher price remains

You can say that again. I topped up just over half a tankful a couple of weeks ago at Asda Gillingham, Kent for £1.597. Back home at the Tesco Northarbour just outside Portsmouth the next day it was 9p a litre dearer. What is the justification? Both locations are about the same distance from a refinery.

Although there seems to be discrepancies between regions there appears to be a levelling off between petrol station prices in a given area. Many of of those that we pass are within a few decimal points of eachother

+1, they are empowered to do what they believe they can get away with. The only time they stop the theft is if they get caught🙁

As expected S🤷🏻♂️. The energy companies are the same. Once upon a time we had an energy watchdog who protected the consumer, not anymore the WDog is dictated to by the energy companies. The world is sighing a relief as the energy costs fall with the falling price of gas & oil. . .Except us-next month our bills jump again. . .More sickeningly high & obscene profits for them again.

I read on the BBC website this morning that petrol and diesel actually costs the same wholesale!
Diesel is being sold for about 17p per litre more on average than petrol, despite wholesale costs falling to similar levels, a motoring group said.
Average diesel prices are £1.64 per litre compared with £1.47 per litre for petrol, while both are priced at about £1.15 wholesale, the RAC said.
It said the difference was "scandalous" and that cuts in the wholesale price had not been passed on to customers0 -
Today I paid 159.9p for diesel at Tesco in Falkirk, which is a fair bit below the average price, but of course I would have wanted it cheaper. Can't understand why it is not in line with the price of petrol.
