    £131.9 here at Sainsbury's 

    £132.7 at Asda

    Our local Esso is £137.9 (but 4p a litre less, with the Fuelpecker fuel card)

    .....for those who like (not me!!)  it's £164.9 at the Services at J10 of the M42.... !!  My guess is they've probably got plenty left!!  🤣🤣🤣

    As Moulesy kindly said in a response to your post I was not attacking the BBC. The headline was in bold as that was the bit of a post made by Kennexton and I was refuting it.

    I suggest you go back to that post to get the fuller picture.

    My daughter had to get some petrol at Scotch Corner services, no queues but because her car cannot take this new fangled petrol she had to pay £1.73 a litre!

    Luckily for her (but for us) the tax payer will foot the billundecided

    Hmm - was thinking of topping up the tank today but as Boris says all will be OK next week then as I have 1/2 a tank I will leave it until next week.

    After all, things will be back to normal by then, won't they?laughing

    Psychology, 1.9 seems way cheaper than 2.0, in reality it’s 1/10th better, but that’s psychology for you🤷🏻‍♂️

    Yes, It's a tenth of a penny saving but .1 of a penny saving in 2 pence is actually a twentieth off....even less of a 'bargain'.

    anyway, if we bought one litre, how would we pay 129.9p? 

    The 'classic' £9.99 sounds way better than £10...this time just a saving of a penny, but in the total price it's only a saving of one thousandth of the the price, 999p instead of 1000p.

    even better psychologyfrown

    Whenever the 2 ladies in the house say they've bought an item they tend to say,for example, £9 when they really mean £9.99. laughing Never fails.

    I use the pump price as a guide to how cheap or expensive a particular petrol station is. I can't remember the last time, if ever, I actually went in and bought say 20 litres. usually it's full tank or a multiple of £10.

    Me too, lots of £60:01 for example and very few £60:00. I think it's a trick built into the pumps.

    The filling station we used a few days ago had a limit of £35 and the pump stoped dead on that automatically. When I went to pay the attendant, presumably thinking that wasn’t much for a MH, said if you want to you are welcome to put more in and reset the pump.

    Just a reflection…

    In days long since past I was a petrol pump attendant at weekends. Nobody would dream of serving themselves. Even then I recall supply shortages and coupons. I had to turn away anybody but locals and account holders - that created some heated arguments! Rises in fuel duty were usually announced several hours before implementation and sparked the same kind of panic buying that we see today. Plus sa change!

    Bill is using the shortened form; much as we might say 'it walks like a duck' rather than the full phrase
