Just been up to Stafford today to move my son down from university and paid 113.9 per litre in a local petrol station.
The local ASDA was the same price. 119.9 is the cheapest I can find it locally. Why the marked difference between them & us? Is it something to do with the transport of the stuff or just a measure of the local cost of living? Whatever it is we are loosing out.

Isn't it about time they ditched the stupid .9 pricing and indeed pricing in pennies (even though Biker1 seems to have found the most expensive petrol in the world  ) ?It fools no one into thinking they are getting a bargain, besides, I have never seen a price set at .2 or .6 or whatever, it's always .9. Petrol companies, why not be honest and just say it's £1.31 or £1.36 a litre to quote the intended pricing above. |

I forgot you need 2 decimal points to quote petrol prices. |
