The Most Expensive Petrol Station in England?

Luton, Beds.
Drove past here tonight. £1.59 per litre. At least 9p more expensive than any other I've seen recently. Can you beat it?:mad:

    Just supply and demand.

    I saw on Poynters Road today people waiting whilst the station was being refilled. It is madness.

    If I owned a station I would ramp up the price too.

    Infuriating isn't it. At that price we'll be paying £2pl by the summer.

    I seem to recall some garages have done this before. Whilst they may be able to charge what they like within reason, what is short sighted of them is that people dont forget and this may boycott the garage once demand is back to normal

    I like the way you call the thread "The most expensive petrol station in England", and then go on to tell us a price of £1.59, which is their price for diesel ... according to your link, petrol is "only" 149.9p.

    The most expensive petrol station is the one on Park Lane in London which last time I drove past sold unleaded at 174.9p

    Here in Stockport you can get petrol for £1.36 so its clear exploitation...but then people do go in and fill up dont they so they must be happy to get shafted.
    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    We filled up in Sainsburys and the petrol there (Bishop Auckland,County Durham) was still £1.34.Think the highest price i have seen in this area is around the £1.42 mark.

    I was listening to the radio last night and one poor care worker from norwich paid £1.94 just so she could house visit.
