i like the whole "i don't care how much it is" attitude, as if everyone is made of money etc.
The price is getting a bit silly again, it won't be long till it's going mental again and theres some uproar!

then it goes down, people calm down, it edges up 2p every few weeks, there is uproar, it goes down, it edges up again 2p etc.
the people in this country cant make the tax on petrol get reduced. as if a government ever listens to its people.

i saved 4p a litre last night by just driving 10 miles, although i was passing said cheap station.
But it just goes to show the differences you can get quite locally.

Tbf, he's sold his Pug so there was bound to be something else Pugnut'd be moaning about 
I notice the price every morning as I drive past Morrison's due to the big sign so I notice when it changes but end of the day I need it so I buy it. It's a long time since I used public transport and I hope I'll never have to use it again, so paying daft prices is the only option.
Still at least it's not as much as bull spunk

My village garage was 108.9 today. His little scam is to run it at 104.9 for a week or so, that way we think its cheap, then when we are used to it, he bangs it up to something huge, by which time ive filled up and not realised  Fucking Badger!!

I think it's more down to the prices of barrels going up, thus the price of petrol to buy going up, thus charging you more Joe. Don't think an independent would be that sinister

Agreed, we never do it
An independant relies on the regular customers coming back.
At one point, we were bing charged 1.08 +VAT when the Supermarkets were selling it at 1.06 including VAT  If you want to change the fuel market, campaign again the supermarkets to sell it at a profit and not a loss for once! Then the price will be the same as everyone else!

That rediculous. Why would the public complain at the supermarkets to make them RAISE the price

It's cheaper here than in Germany. Was €1.46 (about £1.46 ) per litre of V Power when I left, compared to £1.11 the other day here.

£1.12 for VPower Diesel although the shell extra appears to provide the same performance at 6p a litre cheaper
