Default Price of petrol up again!

Its getting beyond a joke in this country.....

I have just gone past my local BP garage and normal 95 unleaded is now 90.9p a litre...

Shell garage 1 mile away is 87.9 for 95 ron, I only use optimax but its now 93.9

How much more can we take!

prices are in Milton Keynes btw..

See Tesco post below, think someone was paying nearly a quid/litre in cambridge for optimax.

In theory price should go down again in a few weeks but I think fuel companies have given up passing on reductions in price to customers and just increase the price these days.

Just filled up tonight too and noticed now the difference between Optimax and unleaded is now 8p a litre ! Was normally 6p - so seems they have just stuck the price of Optimax up yet again.

Its been bubbling under the surface for a while with Hauliers, don't think it will be long tbh before it kicks off again. They tried it a month or so ago but were let down by loads of drivers who didnt turn up at Stanlow

No good for me though, in last fuel protest it took me more than a quarter of a tank to get my 'Emergency Services Personnel' rations.
