Still £54.97 inc. vat on my Flogas online account

This is getting stranger and stranger. My local stockist is now charging £73 and Flogas is only a couple of pounds cheaper if I go direct. So how can it be that other Flogas customers are paying so little?

It's high time this racket was investigated!

And this Autumn's price? £79. This is in Kent, BTW.

Just paid £54.97 including VAT and free delivery in the East Midlands with Flogas. Calor wanted £56.97 + VAT + £5 delivery per load and claimed it's prices were higher because LPG is bought in dollars and because of Brexit the £/$ exchange rate is poorer so they have paid more for the LPG.

Anyone else had the £/$ exchange rate quoted to them as a reason for LPG price rise?

I still want some sort of explanation why a customer in the Midlands pays £24 less than one in Kent! A few pence, even a couple of pounds, would be one thing but this sort of disparity is absurd.

I suspect it's mostly down to what they think they can get away with. That's way it needs regulation. There's almost a monopoly situation out there (closer to a duopoly actually) and that's not good for competion or the consumer.

If you read back in the thread someone posted they tried to get a regulator or some body/organisation like that but there was little interest.

Perhaps a petition on the No. 10 Downing Street website asking for LPG prices to be investigated and a regulator/Ombudsman to be appointed might gain support.

If they are buying in dollars then it will be costing more as the value of sterling has fallen this year.

Went to order online yesterday and flogas wanted £63.93 almost a £4 increase, so spoke to an account manager and he reduced it to £59.72 not just for me but for the other 25 users on our park home site. as Tesco say "every little helps"
