We have two petrol stations at each end of pour village. The one who always tries to rip people off, is selling petrol at 115.9ppl and diesel at 118.9ppl. The one who understands that in business, one has to be sensible, or risk losing everything, is selling petrol at 113.9ppl and diesel at 111.9ppl.
Guess which ones locals go to, all the time, even when they are parity priced.

The average price of diesel has fallen below 113p per litre for the first time since January 2010, according to the information group Experian Catalist.
In the last week, supermarkets have cut prices by between 2p and 4p per litre.
Last month, diesel became, on average, cheaper than petrol for the first time since July 2001.

Paid 107p for diesel over near Lincoln - all the supermarkets offering a similar price. Bit higher over in the Midlands but 112p seems pretty common.
...and some Santander cashback too, so that takes it down to 106p at supermarket stations, 109p at the main chains round here due to differing cashback rates they give.0 -
Diesel was 109.9 at my local Jet this morning (South Lanarkshire). Unleaded was 113.9.0
