Just filled up. Bought Optimax a few days ago for 98.9. Its now 109p. Went to BP and had to buy Ultimate at 106p!!!! The standard unleaded doesnt appear to have changed in price, about 95p. This is in St Ives near Cambridge.

Is this something to do with the forthcoming blockade? Why has the margin for super unleaded sudenly gone up by so much?

 

Are you sure it wasn't 100.9p? The differential between nul seems about right then.
It's 100.9 here.

deffo 109.0

 

91p in asdas for unleaded and 97.9 for optimax up here.

 

Looks like we are getting royally shafted for it locally then.............

 

time to boycott.

I'm planning to work from home this week.

 

paid 101 pence on Friday in Bromsgrove and 99 pence today in Sevenoaks so it does vary but it has gone up!

 

100.9 for me last time I filled up (couple of days ago)

I know I didn't buy the car for the economy, but £42.50 for about 210 miles is getting expensive....

 

It was 98.9 in Dundee yesterday for optimax

 

Just filled up in Bristol and paid 98.9 for Optimax.

 

95.9 for 99 ron fuel from tesco here, optimax is about 101.9

 

Optimax is 98.9 here!

 

I keep hearing everything has gone up not just Optimax. I don't look at the price, I need it so I just fill up - no need getting depressed over something you have no control over.

Your MPG control is how you drive the car - so it is up to you how much you wish to enjoy the drive

paignton/torquay is 1.06 for optimax

 

I Paid £109.9 for Optimax @ Maypole road Tiptree Essex..... 10 miles down the road @ West Mersea it's still 99.9p If i had'nt been on my way down to Devon i'd driven the extra miles to stop payin the robbin bar stewards the extra cash!

 

99.9p for Optimax today.

 

Just paid 102.9 .................

Some garages are profiteering from the panic buying thats going on - they should note that things return to normal soon enough but memories are long!!

Pete

 

Thank goodness I drive a Subaru capeable of running on 95Ron

 

99.9p in Nottingham

 

So do I!!

But, it runs like a bag of spanners then!!

Pete

 

.... it couldn't anything to with the analisms could it?

 

If its profiteering I dont understand why they have only targeted super? I've put my scooby away and just filled my ZX6R up with unleaded. Looks like I'll be on 2 wheels for a while. A 10% increase since yesterday? Thats banana republic inflation.

 

Yup, been like that since last week, 15p up on normal UL.

Allan

 

As above but i'm sure it go up

 

what about we all pay for our petrol in coppers, and boycott all the tasty delicacies like chocolate croissants and slush puppies, because thats where there profits really lie!!


how about it, we could all drive too our local petrol station and not buy anything, just wave our money infront of the cashiers!

 

57 cente for 100 ron here

 

I just filled up there this morning and can confirm the ludicrous price differential. Any idea if fenstanton and huntingdon are the same?
If so, I suggest the following:

As long as this differential exists then it must be cheaper to ditch optimax and use 95 RON + octane boost? at 15 p a litre then that's an extra 7.50 on 50 litres - isn't octane boost around 3.50 a go?

 

Gone down here, was 99.9 now 98.9.

Just what was going through my mind mpr; I'd avoided filling up in Fenstanton as was at a rally in Oakington yesterday; traditionally A14 garages more expensive but I'm wondering if this is a one-town rip off? Havent been past Huntingdon but someone else reported 1.21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in March. Jaysus.

I've got some OB in the cupboard, now might be the time to test the regular unleaded theory.

 

What's this about a rally in oakington?
