Sainsbury's, North Valley Road, 119.9 a litre unleaded.
Anywhere cheaper?

Kelbrook a whopping 131.9 Fresh air 50p

I remember the strikes when they tried to put unleaded up to a pound.... and then reversed it due to the outcry. Wonder what happened to change it. One of the dearest countries for fuel, American's did similar when it hit $1 a Gallon!

I used to have a page email me the cheapest round here and would receive another one if it changed.

Trafalgar garage and Asda in Burnley were cheapest all the time, so I just binned the emails.

Make me laugh when people drive further than they would usually to get cheaper petrol.

What they “save” they usually use for the extra distance

Morrison’s is usually pretty cheap

Worth noting that supermarket fuel isn't the same quality as some garages.

Yes....I'd heard that. But how would you know who sold better fuel?

I see your point, but if everyone drove to the cheapest one, then eventually the others would have to drop their prices to compete.

I’ve heard this said before but surely it all comes out of the same refineries and must meet the RON quality?

Shell garage for instance has normal and premium diesel so it's not just the basic one for all.

Asda always cheap

I was told years ago by a mechanic friend it was a waste of money always using Premium fuels. If you go for Premium once a month it's just as good as it's main advantage is it clears any crud from the engine... so if there isn't any its not doing anything.

I always get better mpg from a garage’s fuel rather than a supermarket. Texaco being the best. Normal fuel not the premium stuff.

http://www.simplemotoring.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; shows a bit of info. Basically say each company offers different additives to clean the engine. Some supermarkets might not have a regular supplier of fuel just go with the cheapest, so could be hit and miss.

Wasn't it just a short while ago in Germany where people abandoned their cars wherever over a hike in petrol prices.
Most in Rossendale gone up to 132.9.
Thieving barstewards.

Whilst it costs more per litre than Coke it isn't
cheap IMO.

But you're paying more for it so there ends the benefit.

I like a bargain...:.coke it is then!

Not wanting to be pedantic but it wasn't even a pound when that happened, it was 80p. Can you imagine! And this thread has £1.19 as being cheap

I get about 10% more mpg so works out better.

Sinsburys Colne and Morrisons at Nelson have been cheapest for a while now ......
The Kay Group Garage ( Nelson/Barrowford Junction M65 ) is 9p a litre more expensive & Morrisons is literally 300 yards away

https://www.petrolprices.com/ has free registration and updates regularly on cheapest fuel ...

Worth mixing in some forte every now and then to clean your engine.

Paying for a new engine is a lot more expensive than spending a bit more on maintaining it properly...

Supermarket fuel is watered down!

Supermarket fuel is made by Satan and is exclusively used by racists.
Supermarket fuel is 90% canal water and 10% orphans teas.
Only fuel from shell, BP and texaco is real, the rest is fake and the current government is covering it up!

Petrol round here is about 70-75p a litre. But it’s a 24,000 mile round trip!

Rammy,
I'd love to know where! I filled up yesterday at $1.45 and that was cheap!!

I filled up on Wednesday at Metro Williamstown. It was $1.35. Must BP & Shell are $1.60 now.

Gasbuddy.com does it work for you lot?
Did it today because my car calls for premium 91 and my mechanic says using 86 is killing my engine so grudgingly admitted to stop.

Shows all gas prices in town as reported by consumers. Helps when you have to put 91 in.

Also there's a grading system for outlets regarding quality of fuel based on historical data, though can't remember how to find that. Example, busy oil company owned facility gets higher grade (quality fuel / quicker turnover of fuel so fuel is optimum) versus others

Gone up by a penny overnight.

Anyone who is an AA member.
The AA app is excellent and uses the google maps to, among other things, show you where the nearest garages are and how much they are charging as well. You can't go wrong.

Motorway £1:50 a litre. A joke.

Is that anything to do with the fact that it takes about 3 hours to move 100 yards on North Valley road?

The equivalent of £1.33 here which is why customs check to make sure your tank is 2/3 full before you can drive into Malaysia where it's 41p.

I can never understand why people use that Kay's garage at Barrowford/Nelson when Morrison's is just around the corner and is always miles cheaper.

I suppose its a bit like going to Costa Coffee and sitting outside. You want people to see you paying a fortune for something and so think you must have plenty of coin.
