Just filled up at Sainsbury's, Meadowhall Sheffield

Unleaded 81.9p
Super unleaded 82.9p

That is 2p cheaper than anywhere else I have seen. Is there a price war looming?

    Oh, didn't realise that. Why is there such a large difference in pricing? From 81.9p to 87.9p down the road for a litre of unleaded? Is there such a big difference in quality?

    I bought a new diesel last October and it's only had supermarket diesel in untill 3 weeks ago. After reading a post on here I changed to Shell diesel and got a double benefit. Cheapest diesel within 30 mile radius and just over 4mpg increase. And the increase at the moment is with mainly local driving.

    Did you see 5th Gear on Channel 5 the other week. They did a comparison of petrol V's diesel.

    They used the example of ford mondeo's. And to break even you would need to do 100,000 miles in the diesel.
