The price of deisel in our local garage yesterday was 101p per litre. The small fuel station at Clachan was cheaper at 99.9p per litre.

Time for Tesco to open up an alternative in the town??

Doesn't about 90% of that go to the Government?

I don't think the profit margins on fuel are that great.

Would Tesco's be much better, taking into consideration they aren't a superstore?

Genuinely curious to know.

This time last year we were paying £1.01 a litre.
With only one garage here we don't have a option on shopping around for cheaper fuel.

Tesco looked at buying the existing garage we have, but the present owners were asking too much for the place.
The thing is, once the likes of Tesco has driven away all the competition, they just hoick up the prices to suit themselves.

even with the fuel prices as they are we all still keep guzzling the fuel. When is somebody in government going to force energy company and motor vehicle manufacturers to start producing cheap alternative ways to run our cars like for example ethanol? Oh that's right never, cos governments rely on donations from the aforementioned people to gain/hold on to power! Still at least now they have to rely on them instead of the tobacco lobby!

On the radio today it said that petrol had reached a new British average all time high of 96.4p per litre.
Does it not show just how much we are getting ripped off at 101.1p per litre, how can this local price be justified.

My uncle who lives on the outskirts of Vancouver(Canada) crosses the border into Washington State to refill his motor home.
It's only about 20 miles, well worth it.
