Taking the pee at the pumps

M4 eastbound and needed some fuel. Got to the Membury services and most of normal diesel (at 124.9p per litre!!!) pumps were out of action. The super sonic diesel remaining was 134.9p per litre!! Are they taking the Censored ! Who would pay that much for a litre of fuel, even if super sonic, when you can buy normal diesel at my local BP for 118.9p per litre. Mad Just because they have a captured market and motorists who need fuel?

What is the most expensive diesel (or petrol) you have seen so far and where? Chris

Out of interest which app are you using, and how do you find it... accurate?
Cheers!

Petrolprices pro

Great to use, search by radius on current position by X miles,

Results have garage, address and display on the map, you can choose diesel or premium diesel, likewise for petrol and I think LPG

Very usefull if your away and don't want to pay motorway service prices Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I filled up at our local Sainsbury's last night after towing all day long, the range dial had read 0 miles for a while! Anyway, when I pulled in the price said 116.9/litre, when I'd filled up and went to the kiosk she tried charging me more than what the pump said, because the proce had gone up 2p in the time I was there!

Needless to say I won and she didn't charge me extra Very Happy Mine: 2012 Golf GTI Edition 35

117p at the Esso near me, most I have ever paid was 136p at a garage in Devon whilst on holiday during the last fuel crisis.
