[Tony H]

Well, gawd bless Mr Morrison whom has prevoked fuel price havock......

Unleaded is priced at 79.9

&

Diesel is priced @ 83.8 "Sainsbury's"

Let's hope JET follow suit sharpish as im running low!!

[VickyA]

Our local Tesco is 82.9, but the Tesco closest to my college is 81.9. Oh happy day................

[s@sha]

79.9 at my local Sainsbury's today.
AND you get a voucher for 5p off per litre if you spend over £50 on your shopping, so even better :)

[vansboy]

But they have INCREASED the 11p tins of beans to 15p!!

Thank Mr Sainsbury for that one!!

Shell filling station near me has dropped to 79.9p per litre :)

[scheming_gypsy]

great... just great !!!

no Morrisons or Shell near me >:( just BP or Asda - which seems to go through like a dodgy curry

[Tony H]

I would rather walk than use BP fuels!! :-/

[Miketheflyer]

Good news that prices are dropping even if it is only a temporary reprieve. I was a big fan of AApetrolbusters.com which gave all prices within a picked radius of your post code. It has been dropped by the AA as too expensive. Anyone know of a similar web site still working?

[scheming_gypsy]

To be honest Tony i use the BP more than any others near me, sometimes they're a penny or 2 more expensive but 99% they're cheap enough... plus it's on my way to work

[MarkyMarkD]

The BP on MY way to work is STILL charging 85.9p for unleaded - the same rip-off price as a month ago.

I don't know wth they think they are doing - other BPs in the area have already dropped to 81.9p.

I found another website that offers a similar service to Petrolbusters, although it's not as good (and it's not free).

www.petrol-prices.co.uk claim to tell you where the cheapest petrol is within 10km (6 miles) of your chosen area every Friday, by text message.

The drawback is you have to register on a premium-rate £1.50 per minute phone number. It reckons the average call would be 2.5mins, or £3.75. For that you get a Friday alert for 16 weeks, so the cost works out at about 23.4p per alert. The website says that the maximum cost to call and register is £5 (about 31.3p per alert).

I reckon if your car has an average 7.5 to 10-gallon tank (appx 34 - 44 litres) you'd have to fill up from empty at least once a week AND save 1p per litre to be sure of saving money using this site. If you only fill up from empty every two weeks, you'd need to save 2p per litre, etc. This doesn't take into account the cost of travelling further to get cheaper petrol though!

No idea if they also give premium unleaded or diesel prices, but have sent them an email to ask. Also have not tried the service, but I'm interested to hear if it's any good. Maybe Martin can arrange a discount on the subscription cost for us?!

PS This is my first post here - hope it's of some use!

Hi Steve

Very useful post, although I can't say I think that site is worth using, considering how much it costs.

Anyone here from South Wales? I haven't filled up for about a week but it was about 82.9 when I did which was painful as my car takes £60 of petrol to go about 300 miles. Anyone found a cheaper place yet?

Dan

[Tony H]

Just an update:

Asda Unleaded 79.7

Sainsburys Diesel 83.7

[hr]PS If anyone can help me use the "table feature" I would be grateful!! :D

[malcolmord]

Can't help with the price but i'm so glad i've found somebody who's car does less mpg than mine

[nearlyrich]

I got Shell unleaded in Stone Staffs on Wednesday for 79.9, I intended to go via my local Tesco but forgot till I was on the M6, nearly had to stop at the services and pay well over the odds.

[Tony H]

My local Jet has finally lowered its price to 83.9 inline with supermarkets which means I can use my smile card to get fuel at 82.9 / litre. ;)

[Barter]

Sorry - new to this; please can you explain how your Smile card means cheaper fuel?

Thanks, Barbara.

[petchy]

Unleaded is 78.7 at an asda near mine!

[Tony H]

Sorry - new to this; please can you explain how your Smile card means cheaper fuel?

Thanks, Barbara.

Sorry, I think you may have misunderstood when I said smile card. "Jet Smile Card" gives back 1p/litre and is not to be confused with the bank called "Smile". ;D

[naquadria]

Wow - those prices are a blast from the past! :eek: And not the too distant past either! What would I do for petrol to 80p again... or even 50p again!! Do these old posts ever get deleted?

[abbecer]

Good god!! I got so excited then and was gonna rush off to Morrisons to fill up. Them were the days!! Long gone though!!

[Biggles]

Do these old posts ever get deleted?No they don't. But unless someone unthinkingly adds a new post to one, everyone knows it's an old post and don't waste their time looking at it.

Let's allow it to work its way back down the list now.

[harveybobbles]

Morrisons near us has droped its unleaded down to 110.9 and derv is 119.9.

[davetrousers]

In 4 years time we'll all be wishing that petrol was only 110.9 p a litre!

Still 132ish where I am :mad:

[anewman]

Think it was 89.9p/l when I started driving which was less than 2 years ago.

[harveybobbles]

I can't remember what it was in 1997 when I passed my test as the price wasn't an issue. Go, fill up, drive.
An ice burg lettuce has gone up 20p in Asda in the last few months.
And three sausage rolls used to be a quid in Waterfields in the village here. Now they are £1.45 :|

[AdrianHi]

37.8p per litre when I started driving, this is interesting:

[Shoshannah]

Topped up today at 110.9p (Tesco Hatfield).

When I started driving in 2004 it was 76.9p. :cry: :cry: :cry:

[iNath]

I have kept a log of everytime I've filled up (along with miles and consumption etc..) and the very first time I used a petrol station was on the 10th October 2006 at 84.9p, those were the days...

[atrebor]

are both at 109.0 for unleaded and 120.9 for diesel, Thats 10p down in 2 weeks!

[minimoneysaver]

108.9 at ASDA in Blackpool - minus 2p a litre with asda credit card is 106.9!

[Thomas Crown]

79.9 at my local Sainsbury's today.
AND you get a voucher for 5p off per litre if you spend over £50 on your shopping, so even better :)


I spent £52.53 at Sainsbury's on the 12th August & I didn't get a 5ppl off fuel voucher. All I got was a 'Great Days Out' Voucher.

I've been using the above website for a while now & I registered for free online. I receive a weekly email advising me of the 5 cheapest service stations for unleaded & diesel within a 5 mile radius of home. I have never paid a penny for this service.

Perhaps you are being charged because you are getting text messages instead of a weekly email? You could always change the way you get notified of the prices & save money.

[Stardust]

Got all excited then lol

Thanks for pointing that out! Both my above posts have quoted previous posts from 2004. Someone has resurrected a very old thread & I didn't realise. The website www.petrol-prices.co.uk (http://www.petrol-prices.co.uk) is still worth signing up to.:D
