Just an administrative error no doubt, probably fixed after being highlighted on the forum. Well done, Maxmix! :lol:

I posted 3 weeks ago about McNairs price being 138.9. At the time 4 or 5p cheaper than the County.

The County's price drop seemed to coincide with McNairs erection of the price board though ! Didn't last long did it ? :roll:

Hi Everready -
I know theres no doubt that mcnairs have sold diesel cheaper probably consistently, but like you wondered if the fact they were advertising the fact was anything todo with the price drop at the county, as you say it hasnt lasted but lets hope all of us with diesel cars have a good excuse not to use the county! - shame for the petrol users especially if they dont venture out of town regularly.

Anyone see the price move in the last week ?

"Some drivers have been getting a “lucky dip” when filling up with petrol, with some pumps supplying more fuel than the counter indicates, the AA has said.

Some fortunate motorists have been getting as much as 4.4% more petrol than shown on the pump, the AA revealed.

This is effectively a 6p-a-litre gift to drivers at a time when fuel prices are extremely high."

Maybe,just maybe The County has faulty pumps. :o

Passed an articulated fuel tanker this morning at the top of the Rest. Never took note of the number, but it looks new. It was the same colour, and had the same logo's etc as the smaller ones we see around town.
I think their depot is close to Nickel and Dime :D
