Petrol Prices

I went past a Texaco earlier and it was £1.28.9p a litre. This is crackers! Simply cannot beleive how bad it has become. It pisses me off despite being lucky enough to work in the same town as I live. It makes me think twice about commuting to places for leisure...

It's pretty bad....costs me over £60 to fill the car now, and with a tenner only getting me 60 odd miles now, it makes a more noticeable dent in your pockets.

where is the most expensive?

I bet I can beat all of you for the most expensive garage....

i think when I went past 2 days ago it was at £1.46p a litre!!!! but only 2 miles away its £1.31

towns round here are all around the £1.27 mark

Ipswitch was £1.22 3 days ago (giving it away

)

I think everyone better get used to petrol prices going through the roof sadly. It's not so much that petrol is getting more expensive, it is simply a case of the pound devalueing more and more. Commodities are the business to be in when recessions are at large so buy your gold now

What do you drive ?? A hummer

£40 fills our 1.6 peuguot, doesn't go very far though, just over a week.

Its a joke at the momment, with drinks prices and petrol. Not feeling so much at the momment but Im sure I will before long. Glad I went for the economical option when I got my new car, its got a stop/start system and averages 72mpg, nearly double my previos car. Wish I could still go in a pub and get a diet coke for 50p. Nowadays its a £3 bottle of bud by default.

Them peuguots are good bandit cars. Used to have a diesel one back in the day and it was a great buy.

Petrol Station near the bowl is slightly lower I believe. Also Norwich Road.
