Petrol prices in Newbury Options

[Jonno]

I realise this has been discussed before but, for the last week, we have reached an even higher level of pricing inequality! It now costs 6p per litre more to buy petrol in Newbury than it does in Swindon. As I do about 20,000 miles per year that is £180 extra for the privilege of buying it at home. Possibly we should have a town-wide collection to help Asda fund a local store with a petrol station. I'd throw in £180........

They're nicknamed "Toyota Pious" for nothing...

Couldn't agree more. Motoring is about getting about safely and having a bit of style.
That is why the Merc ad failed to tickle an apprentice's fancy. Dull,family,old mans car.( Mixing my threads up here.)
There are no Mercedes parked in my area!. You can't take them seriously after Janis lampooned the brand.

Speaking of style, just to show I know about BOYBANDS. One chap by the name of Harry has a flat
in the same Victorian school conversion as my daughter in Stoke Newington.

She & Son in Law had just returned from a holiday in Germany to let his new Audi RS5 loose
when Harry was receiving delivery of a new Porsche. Of course the first thing
K does is check on google the new motor.... "Ha---Mine is £1,000 cheaper and 10 MPH faster" He said with relief.
That is what driving is all about in the real world. Mine is bigger/better than yours.

I agree about the bit about safe travel. However, we are amid a paradigm shift whereby there are more and more people live on this planet who want to consume an ever-diminishing quantity of resources. Given this, we all need to consider how we consumer those resources. This is one of the reason gas prices are spiking. Increasing CO2 emissions are also the core cause of climate change which will make life on earth as we know it IMPOSSIBLE.

We must perfect and support alternative sources of energy for all areas of life including transport. We must look to vehicles that give us the best possible gas-mileages and the lowest possible emissions (preferably none). The combustion engine is in fact woefully inefficient (with a mechanical efficiency of only about 22%). That means about 70% of the gas you put in your tank is NOT used to move your vehicle around.

I cannot help but think any other consumer product that inefficient and polluting would have been banned years ago.

Tell you what, you stop China opening four new coal fired power stations per week and I'll start to listen.
