paid 87.9 for petrol yesterday (shell on the A40 westbound to hangar lane)
usually i check on www.petrolprices.com first for having an idea (NB not always up-to-date and prices shown are not always the ones you get at the garage) |

costs more to refine is b-----ks it's tax differential, thats why diesel is cheaper than petrol in almost all European mainland countries or at worst the same

What must be the Cheapest now,
Shell, Vale Road. Rhyl. Denbighshire. North Wales. Petrol 86.9p Per Litre Diesel 97.9p Per litre Beating both the Local Morrisons and Sainsbury both within Half a mile. Their Diesel 99.9p and 98.9p. Still expensive when you look at price of oil now, but haven't seen cheaper anywhere in UK on my travels. Unless you know otherwise?.................... |

Past a Shell Garage in Hillington Glasgow today and the prices were the same as you have quoted John. Esso in Port Glasgow Petrol 87.9 Diesel 98.9 Morrisons Greenock Petrol 87.9 Diesel 99.9 Not cheap when you remember that at least 60p of those figures goes to the TAX MAN So without the TAX the price of the actual fuel is in the region of :- Petrol 27p per litre and Diesel 38p per litre. Makes you think, where does all this Tax money go. It must be put to good use no doubt!!! Regards, Telfer. Last edited by Telferstr; 21st December 2008 at 10:50.. |

Most Strange.
It is an extremely busy station often with queues even when no fuel shortages etc. Better value to start off with to than Supermarket petrol, so the Locals are all winners for a change. Long may it last. Morrisons and Sainsbury both dropped their prices a further 1p per litre today in Rhyl. |
