Petrol prices
A good time to fill your car up while petrol prices are low.
Morrison's unleaded 99.9p. Don't know about Salisbury's, but they are usually cheaper.

Re: Petrol prices
Filled up at the end of March, still not much room in the tank to make it worth while.
Don't worry, be happy

Re: Petrol prices
We use LPG but as with the cars it is three quarters full.... Btw… What’s the price differential between gas and oil these days... compared to a few years ago…I can never get my head around that kind of stuff.Kendhni wrote: 15 May 2020, 11:36We have oil fired central heating - fill in Nov £475, fill last week £209

Re: Petrol prices
Our experience is that oil is deffo cheaper but for those who prefer to cook by gas rather than electicity then LPG is the way to go. Don't worry about the money, you can't take it with you.

Re: Petrol prices
Filled the car up yesterday, first time since the
23 March. Not because I needed to, but as it was only just over half full, I thought at this rate it will be full price time I use a bit more and need to fill up again.
Full tank now, £22.76, happy days.

Re: Petrol prices
Paid .99 p a few weeks ago in Morrisons but doing so little mileage the car thinks I've quarrelled with it - its stuck in the garage all by itself - in isolation

Re: Petrol prices
There is, of course, a theory that supermarket petrol is so cheap because it has no additives to protect the car's engine, so doing longer term damage. True, or just a rumour? - I wouldn't know, but I try to stick to Shell. But then I could, if I wished, drive five times round the island on a tank of petrol, so I don't really much care how much it costs.
