Seems as if fuel is taking a slight decline.

I filled up car at 130.9 this morning, this afternoon it was 126.9 (Diesel) btw.

Reports it may go down a bit more too.

Saves me £3.20 a tank :)

[Kelly]

I put petrol in at Tesco on Sunday and it was £116.9 so 3 pence cheaper than my local petrol garages. Shame we dont have a Tesco garage more local :(

[Viper]

it had better go down!!

cost me £60 for a full tank when i was at red's!

[Luke]

it had better go down!!

Where did you fill up?

It's quite expense down there.

It was costing me £77, so now it will be £74...

[bullit]

they normally bang it up 50p a litre then drop it 2p. looks like they are helping out. thanks government

[Mochachino]

Happy times! ish.

poeple not bothered about supermarket fuel quality then?

[Yates]

they probs just put up prices because they seen you coming and knew you would make a thread bout it later, they hoped other people would see it and go and fill up...

[Viper]

it was a BP luke. didnt have a choice. needed diesel instantly. lol

was something stupid like 134.9. fuckers

[bytor]

Went down 1p here in the south

[Luke]

Happy times! ish.

poeple not bothered about supermarket fuel quality then?

Don't mind Morrisons fuel, it's the only one I use really.

they probs just put up prices because they seen you coming and knew you would make a thread bout it later, they hoped other people would see it and go and fill up...

Well it was my Mum's I filled up, so didn't cost me a penny.

it was a BP luke. didnt have a choice. needed diesel instantly. lol

was something stupid like 134.9. fuckers

Haywards Heath?

[Kelly]

Happy times! ish.

poeple not bothered about supermarket fuel quality then?

its cheaper and its not damaging my car so why would i be bothered?

[Mochachino]

its cheaper and its not damaging my car so why would i be bothered?

[Viper]

somehwere around there luke

[JC-Furio]

just wondred, loads of poeple are like, "i aint putting that shit in my car"

Loads?

Never heard anyone say that tbh lol... Morrisons is where it's at. :y:

[Luke]

just wondred, loads of poeple are like, "i aint putting that shit in my car"

Nothing wrong with it really.

To be honest, when I worked at Morrisons I dealt with the fuel invoices.

Morrisons get it from the likes of Texaco and BP.

somehwere around there luke

wasnt actually heywards heath. a little down just outside it

My bad, Burgess Hill.

[Kelly]

just wondred, loads of poeple are like, "i aint putting that shit in my car"

didnt know there was a difference between supermarket and say esso for example

[bullit]

didnt know there was a difference between supermarket and say esso for example

yeah there is. supermarket being less quality. but then, who gives a shit, aye kel x

[Mark51]

they normally bang it up 50p a litre then drop it 2p. looks like they are helping out. thanks government

hahaha, i was thinking the exact same.

whats the mpg of the pickup truck?

[Viper]

erm, the receipt says hassocks luke :y:

[bullit]

hahaha, i was thinking the exact same.

whats the mpg of the pickup truck?

bout 2 miles to the gallon

err, i do 235ish to a tank of 50 quid, whatever that is? need a diesel

[Luke]

I thought the pickup was diesel lol.

It's about 26mpg.

[Mark51]

bout 2 miles to the gallon

err, i do 235ish to a tank of 50 quid, whatever that is? need a diesel

lol, thats shit!

you need to get it gased, i.e. LPG. a lad at work got his Honda done but it cost £1350. twice as much as the cars worth but he does 6000 in a month

[bullit]

yeah thought it was pretty shit, i can here the juice guzzling away as i drive. the other hand though, nothing ever goes wrong on it. so no bills there, meaning no time off work. then also it will never lose its value.

[Luke]

Isn't it a J reg or something?

Is it same as the one that was on top gear?

[dsh85]

Both retailers said they are responding to the recent drop in the price of oil, which has fallen from a peak of $147 a barrel to $130 in recent weeks.

so its gone down about £8, and theyve SLASHED the prices by 3p. great!

[bullit]

Isn't it a J reg or something?

Is it same as the one that was on top gear?

yeah it is. the other point being i can smash into someone and not be bothered

[Luke]

Well you could drive into the North Sea and still be OK lol.

What mileage is it on? Don't they last forever?

[bullit]

it is 55000 now. was on 33 i think when i bought it ;) so its still like new

[Luke]

That's nothing for the age.

[bullit]

used to be used at a warehouse so did no miles

[DaveyBoy]

price decrease but not for long :(

[Tanya-VTR]

Petrol dropped by a penny today at my local Shell garage, diesel went up 2pence !

[Vinny_VSX]

Wow... I am going to fill up tomorrow. May even treat my car to more than £20 this time :)

[Amiee]

It went down last week at the one near work.. the others iv passed have stayed the same

[Ashleyp]

http://www.petrolprices.com/price-of-petrol.html

this is where the cost per litre goes..

duty is a form of tax right?

if so, were paying 67p tax per litre.. joke tbh

[JC-Furio]

http://www.petrolprices.com/price-of-petrol.html

this is where the cost per litre goes..

duty is a form of tax right?

if so, were paying 67p tax per litre.. joke tbh

Not bad, i thought it was more like 80% tax lol.

[Ashleyp]

Not bad, i thought it was more like 80% tax lol.

still 67p is quite a lot per litre.. just over half

[L33h]

never since ive been driving have i saw petrol prices go down. Up up up.i dont eve nthink they will go down now tbh

[djrem]

£80.05 has been the mist expensive refill for me so far.

Averaging £75 - £78 pre refill.

(diesel shogan not a spaxo)

[shooorn94]

All the same around my area, one however has gone down by 0.5p yet is 4.64miles away from me... worth the saving?

It was stated in January that petrol would settle at £1.50 by December, I heard on the radio yesterday that it would settle at £2.00 a litre... I'm not sure I could afford that :fcuk:

[Luke]

It's not gonna go down to below a pound, but I'd be happy for it to stay as it is.

[Viper]

supermarket fuel price war at the moment :y:

asda gone down by 3p. morrisons 4p iirc

[David]

Sainsburys by 5 if you spend over £50... :omg:

[Clouds_mate]

Do you really wana fill up on supermarket fuel tho? its wank.

I put normal unleaded in my car when i was about to run out, just put a tenner in so i could go get some vpower. It ran lumpy as fuck.

I hate to think what supermarket fuel would be like in it.

[Viper]

i have always used supermarket fuel.

never had a problem

and if anyone makes a comment like 'well, you only have a diesel' i will fucking shoot you

[Luke]

I find supermarket fuel OK to be honest.

Always lasts as a long as the likes of Shell etc, but is Diesel different? Lol, I don't know.

[David]

Always use Shell.

Guess it doesn't matter though in a diesel...

[-Jason-]

supermarket fuel price war at the moment :y:

asda gone down by 3p. morrisons 4p iirc

Read the first post numpty lol

As for petrol I either fill up at shell or tesco and never usually have any problems usually put 1 tank of optimax to 4-5 normal

[Viper]

lol jason

i never clicked on the link yesterday :P

[Luke]

When I had the Focus, I was meant to run it on 97 RON which is Vpower, I did the odd few times but it rang fine on the normal supermarket fuel most of the time.

Like I say, never had problems - ran all my Saxos on it and they are ran fine.

[AdamW]

Always use Shell....

Still 1.28 this morning for Vpowwwaar

[Luke]

I had just start using Shell again to start collecting points for my card, when I got told a few people had the card cloned so I decided to go back to Morrisons lol.

Least I can trust them..

[David]

When I had the Focus, I was meant to run it on 97 RON which is Vpower

V Power is 99 RON...

[Viper]

V Power is 99 RON...

owned jrp

[doely_gti]

i only own a saxo so i couldnt care what petrol i use tbh.

just whacked £20 in at £1.26 per ltr :(

[Luke]

What's 97 RON then? LOL

I thought it was Super Unleaded?

[Viper]

97 ron is petrol luke

[Luke]

I thought the normal unleaded was 95 RON?

[Evolution4589]

Always use Shell.

Guess it doesn't matter though in a diesel...

Got a Driver's Club card?

Saved a massive £3 last time I got my points statement through... deep joy.

Although because I filled up with 30 litres it's like 10p off a litre.

Which is still extortionate... but it's bearable. Shell's the cheapest in my area and just across the road from the spray shop and parts shop...

One of the nicest fuels going is Tesco's 99 RON but tbh I can't be arsed to drive the extra distance and pay the extra price and only get Clubcard points... which are shit.

[hellonpluto]

:hug:Happy times! ish.

poeple not bothered about supermarket fuel quality then?

It tastes the same

[David]

Yes mate, I have a drivers card. Think I got about the same amount as you... better than a poke in the eye though.

[Evolution4589]

I don't know, some of those pokes can be pre-tty durn exciting...

Meh, who am I kidding. Triple points for V-Power (in a 1.1 :P ) ftw.

[carl_hughes]

its gone down 5 p at morrisons 4p at asda!

[RedB]

Tom where did you go lol?
I use Shell as its cheaper than most apart from Asda :err:

[Luke]

Asda is cheap, but Brighton is a bit far lol.

He want to Hassocks??

[Karl]

Drop it down to a pound again,
Ill be a happy man.

[Luke]

Rumours for lowering it still.

[steveocole]

bring fuel cost down!

[weetz]

Happy times! ish.

people not bothered about supermarket fuel quality then?

I know some supermarket garages round here are supplied by Shell.

[martinmac]

so is fuel starting to go back down then??? or is this all just to ease the pain before it starts to skyrocket again??? Barely left the house since it hit £1.20 a litre :n: haha ... although figured out how to use my legs again... thats been fun!

[Shellz]

It was 119.9 round here. Mainly 117.9 now! :D A few at 115.9!

[Amiee]

woop.. was 117.9 last week, went down to 116.9 drive past on the way home its dropped to 114.9

[BBL]

114.9 for petrol and 124.9 for diesel at morrisons next to me :y:

[JC-Furio]

Drop another 15p and i'll be happy.

[craig180]

Seems cheap not by comparison now, but remember we are still paying extortionate prices while the oil companies rake in record profits

[kevin_172]

still 118.9 here in sunny staines :(

[Casper1]

morrisons down by me was 112.9 yesterday :)

[kevin_172]

whats with the places in london ffs!

[Vinny_VSX]

This is a bit weird. Tonight I decided to go check out the petrol station prices in my local town where there is two essos and a morrison fuel station. Now one of the esso's had gone down to 112.0p but the other had gone up to 118.9, why the hell has that happened? They are both pretty much a stone throw from each other. However the morrison went down to 112.0p :D

[spikey18]

well there is a SHELL round my way and it is 1.15.9 it was 98.9 last month.........

[dispin]

I filled up at 130.9 on Monday and thought it was a deal lol

[Hodgins91]

its gone to around £1.15 around here this afternoon from £122.9 :O
sweet! lol :)

[Evolution4589]

Tesco's dropped from 118.9 to 113.9. :S

There's got to be a catch somewhere...

[Adam_Q]

they normally bang it up 50p a litre then drop it 2p. looks like they are helping out. thanks government

C**T's tbh!

[Amiee]

Gone down to 112.9 at tesco today

[dispin]

now i feel like i got riped off haha.

[richt247]

petrol prices are ridiculous now like, when i first started driving they were like 75-6 pence a litre

[HayleyVts]

any one round here know what it is yet? im thinking about going to asda now even though its 'not as good'

[grantley1988]

mine has stayed the same for the last 5 weeks 121.9 and thats for tesco 99ron :)

[Clouds_mate]

Whats the 99ron like?

I got a tesco near my work, tempted to give it a bash when i run out of this tank

[Luke]

So 97 RON is super unleaded like I said yesterday?

[Karl]

Whats the 99ron like?

I got a tesco near my work, tempted to give it a bash when i run out of this tank

Ive been using it the last 2 weeks, Our shell is undergoing maintenence.

Just the same tbh ~

Luke 97 RON is in the super unleaded "category" if you like too, yes.

[Clouds_mate]

So 97 RON is super unleaded like I said yesterday?

you said 97 was vpower ;)

http://www.saxperience.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2355468&postcount=52

[Luke]

Yeah I did ;)

I thought vpower/super unleaded was the same?

[Mardgee]

112.9 at my local tesco, my 5p off a litre voucher also helped alot :P wheyyy 107.9.

[Clouds_mate]

Unleaded in the Uk in marked at 95ron min. Super unleaded is marked at 97ron min. So if its 97ron or above its super unleaded. Vpower and Optimax (etc) are just names of super unleaded juice.


I think.....lol

[Luke]

That's my thoughts exactly Leckie.

That's what I called vpower 97 ron yesterday.

Where is Mr Sayer? lol.

[Karl]

VPowah is 99.

[AdamW]

I dont feel the difference between super or ordinary unleaded.....lol.

Just hurts my wallet

[Clouds_mate]

Well vpower is super unleaded yes.

But super unleaded isnt Vpower.

Vpower is Vpower.

[Jay_Saxo]

Still the same in lovely N.Ireland!! Still costing me between £130.99 and £134.99 for diesel!! :cry:

[Clouds_mate]

I dont feel the difference between super or ordinary unleaded.....lol.

Just hurts my wallet

Filled the car with regular 95ron. Ran like a bag of spanners.

[Luke]

Least we all know now :)

[Karl]

My cars never been run on anything other than 99.

:D

/brag.

[Luke]

I bet previous owner ran it on 95 RON ;)

[AdamW]

Filled the car with regular 95ron. Ran like a bag of spanners.

Serious?

Is there any known faults with alternating them?

[Clouds_mate]

My cars never been run on anything other than 99.

:D

/brag.

You cant possibly know that lol.

I could say the same about mine. But how do i know what the garage were using when i picked it up lol

'yep, smells different'

[Karl]

Adam, Vtec will no longer rip your face off.

and Luke, if he lied to me like that....I'd be heartbroken.

[Luke]

Anyone could lie about the fuel he used ;)

[Clouds_mate]

Serious?

Is there any known faults with alternating them?

Apart from engine managment light flashing like a whore?

[Karl]

Leck yours did that when you ran it on 95?!

Screw ever trying 95 in mine then.

[AdamW]

VTEC in wet......grrrreat fun

[Clouds_mate]

Leck yours did that when you ran it on 95?!

Screw ever trying 95 in mine then.

As soon as i pulled outa petrol station, got like 0.5 miles down road. light flashing. Stopped after 5mins.

[Kelly]

there was a link posted a while back to a website that tells you the cheapest garage for petrol in your area. anyone still have it or know where to find it?

[Karl]

VTEC in wet......grrrreat fun

Bad power delivery ftl.

Don't those socks keep you from spinning? :P

[AdamW]

petrolprices.com

[AdamW]

Bad power delivery ftl.

Its all about leaving a junction with foot flat to the floor and watching it spin in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th....

Leaving a trail of oil and a gearbox on the road.....

VTEC YO!!!!

[Karl]

Its all about leaving a junction with foot flat to the floor and watching it spin in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th....

Leaving a trail of oil and a gearbox on the road.....

VTEC YO!!!!

hahhahahaha,
I just can' help it mang.

I hitz the VTEC and away she goes!

[AdamW]

Hitting VTEC costs me way more......drinks oil more than a banged out fiesta.

Watch the petrol dial go down....hit a white line in wet while overtaking. Shit yourself as there is no space to pull in. Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhh DEAD

[Clouds_mate]

Its all about...Trashing it. 'got loads yet before the limiter' Next thing you know, BARPPP POPOPOPOPOPOPOPP.

change gear lol.

Bounched it a few times thinking i had alot left lol

[Karl]

Leck,
2nd gear goes way too fast huh? lol.

[DamoVTS]

bp round here has gone down 3p , but shell has stayed the same >.< and i only use shell vpower the cheating bastards lol

[Yates]

cant wait to fill up vectra later...

nice drive home in that

[Luke]

More drops today.

Local Prices are...

Unleaded £110.9
Diesel £122.9

Hopefully more to come, I know it isn't much difference but it all helps!

[Clouds_mate]

Sucks tbh. Filled up a full tank of V lastnight to the tune of £1.26. Why dont they lower that?

[Luke]

Another full tank? Seems like you go through the stuff rather fast...

You sure it ain't been lowered this morning?

[Clouds_mate]

Nope i called in this morning for a drink.

Yep going through petrol like no man here.

Done 4 full tanks in 4 weeks. Yes for shit MPG lol

[Luke]

Strange how it doesn't go down..

How many miles to a tank?

[Clouds_mate]

about 330.

[AdamW]

Same Leckie.....about 1.26 for V Poweeeeer here.

Sucks ass

[Luke]

Ouch...think that's one reason why I couldn't get a Clio.

Mileage I do I couldn't afford to run it on VPower.

[Evolution4589]

I'm glad it's dropping about now because this is a bad month for petrol for me :P

Filled up with a bit at 113.9 at Tesco's, and Shell is dropping down more... was 115.9 when I last filled up there.

Any takers on it dropping further? I think that it will probably end up settling around the 109.9-112.9 mark for a while.

Well, I hope it does.

[Tupps]

110.9 round here today... gonna fill the skip up after work

If it goes below £1 a litre i'll sell up and buy a silly powered car... maybe

[Evolution4589]

If it goes below £1 a litre i'll sell up and buy a silly powered car... maybe

Lol I doubt it will... if it does you have my word that I will buy a TVR Cerbera.

As if that'll make any difference to you, but it'll be a good bet to uphold if it does drop that far... :S

[leeroybrown]

£1.08 at Morrisons in Sunderland at present

So I been lead to believe

[Evolution4589]

Bugger. :S

Looks like that Trev might be coming in the post quicker than I thought.... *rings Adrian Flux*

[Luke]

Yeah, further north you go the cheaper it gets it seems.

[Tupps]

Yeah, further north you go the cheaper it gets it seems.

*Moves to scotland*

[Evolution4589]

Yeah, further north you go the cheaper it gets it seems.

I'm not too sure about that ;)

When I travel north I always see the stupid petrol prices around the Farnham/Guildford area.

I.e. 122.9 for regular at the small Shell in Farnham. It's always about 3-5p more expensive than any of the others... wankers.

Also when I went to Birmingham, Nottingham & Newark it was definitely more expensive than down here. But that's two places... sure it varies in others.

[Luke]

I know Scotland is about 2p a litre cheaper than down here, whereas Newcastle always seems a bit cheaper too.

[Robb]

I dont look at petrol prices anymore.

[Sophie123]

I was really excited to have filled up on £1.11.9 on sunday.
Its annoying though having to drive around looking for the cheapest price, at least before they were all the same (excluding texaco and places like that!)

[Amiee]

lOL Sophie same here.. Morrisons went down to 111.9 where as Tesco went from 112.9 to 113.9

dont get why one went up and one went down lol

[KayPee]

I was really excited to have filled up on £1.11.9 on sunday.
Its annoying though having to drive around looking for the cheapest price, at least before they were all the same (excluding texaco and places like that!)

petrolprices.com (saves you drivin about!)

[KayPee]

And we will all now be happy that petrol is sooooo cheap compared to what it was.... that is so bad!

[bushy]

from 1.17.9 to 1.12.9 :D tesco garage around my way

[bide_furio]

nothing changed here on petrol prices! still should be lower. compared to what it was 18 months ago its silly prices! further north is towards where the petrol is coming for aint it??? cos cornwall is always welll expensive

[KayPee]

nothing changed here on petrol prices! still should be lower. compared to what it was 18 months ago its silly prices! further north is towards where the petrol is coming for aint it??? cos cornwall is always welll expensive

Places of natural beauty and holiday resorts will always be rip-off prices for most / all / anything / everythin!

[bide_furio]

its not just that! its the cost of getting it to the stations also!
