    I think we're being a bit churlish here, people. All donations are gratefully received here. Thank you, ASDA. Keep it up.
    The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in my life. :)

    LPG is up by way more where I live (Northampton).

    2/3 weeks ago Morrisons in Wellingborough was 49.9, then 51.9 now 53.9. My local Shell was 53.9, then 54.9 now 56.9. Most BP garages I see are 57.9 and one was 60.9!

    It's OK if you live near an Asda. Just looking it up for where I used to live and the cheapest is £1.07, Asda is 104.9p if you drive 20 miles.

    still would be 5p a litre cheaper than my cheapest local station

    I am not disputing that.

    I am merely pointing out that they increased the price 2p just to drop it 2p the next day.

    Thank you ASDA. Looks like their price drop has fuelled a price war in my local area (see what I did there? ;)). Local Shell garage has dropped their fuel to 102.9 now :)

    Wow 2 p off , we all suppose to clap our hands on how we get so ripped off in rip of britain :mad:

    About time we protested about things like this and not bow down when they only take off 1 or 2p , as it seems most idiots jump for joy at a penny off :rolleyes:

    You could have fooled me, what "price war"?:confused:

    Hysterical headlines like these really do my cake in!

    I have a Company Fuel card through MF Oils so price rises don't particularly worry me :beer:
