Oh and incidentally I don't include the nice wee wummin that runs the clachan garage. Her fuel prices are usually much lower than campbeltown and she lets me get a heat in her shop when I'm frozen solid on ma Harley when I go oot a run on it. And she sells stuff people want to buy as well like tasty cakes n stuff.

Boston Asda this afternoon, unleaded £1-24.9, diesel £1-29.9. At this rate we won`t be able to afford to tow the caravan up to Kintyre in June!

Roads uncluttered by these mobile roadblocks. It may work. :)

:) Aw Gizmo, and I thought better of you than that :( We always do our utmost not to be a "mobile road block", but there are some caravan owners who can be a bloomin` nuisance, I`ll freely admit, but we aren`t all like that.

There was an item on Farming Today the other morning.There may be some assisted price reductions for remote petrol stations as there are on the Scottish Islands.This is to attempt to prevent small family owned garages/filling stations from going under.

I believe another price hike is due in April courtesy of our wonderful Government. :x Our holiday in the area later this year is looking more and more expensive. :(

I'm still filling up at lochgilphead where it is currently £1.339 for diesel. Inverary was 1.369 this week which is unusual for them to be dearer than lochgilphead. Tescos are giving vouchers for 5p off a litre for every £50 spent in store. Ok if you happen to be going to oban! County prices are just beyond a joke now.

Just out of there, missed our village local today (half day). Is that them jumping the gun on the predicted 5p hike mentioned today due to unrest out in the middle east or is that still to come also :evil: .Is it not bad enough with the state of the roads,damage to cars,repair costs and so on without this continuous fuel raising.
Rant over!!!!!!!!!

I nearly always filled some fuel in that garage through the arch enroute to Glasgow and found it was always very cheap until just lately?

If diesel does reach two pounds per litre later in the year as some forecast I will use approximately four hundred and twenty pounds worth of fuel for the round trip to Waterfoot later this year for my holiday.I feel that it wil be well worth it though. :D
