Shell Petrol Station at the Chequers roundabout in Horley near Gatwick, paid 79.9 per litre today is this the cheapest?
84.9 p/ltr @ Pease Pottage, robb'n Barstewards [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
82.9 p/ltr @ Broadbridge Heath, robb'n Barstewards [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Why isn't there just one price nationally.

79.9 pence in Rushden, Northants. It was 80.9 but got lowered due to "competition"?
I was also told that Optimax will be the only unleaded fuel in times to come, so normal UL will be phased out.

Optimax going for 78.9p per litre in Christchurch... plus you get a nice shiny key fob (as long as you lie and say it's the first time you've filled up with Optimax!)...

Looks like a lot of Petrol staions are taking the Piiss with the price of "OPTIMAX".
As long as you pay for it ,they will charge such a high price.
Maybe if there is a campaign against the high cost in some areas they will reduce thae price and sell more.

The prize is cheaper fuel if only more people would complain at the high national costs. Shell Horley is now down to 77.9p/ltr. They said more and more people have whinged recently. It's obvious also thay some stations are profiteering.
Can anyone in the UK beat the 74.9p/ltr???
Thanks for the responce keep it coming.

Cheers everyone, a spokesman at Shell yesterday told me that due to the overheads differing at different locations. There will be a varying degree of prices, however they envisage prices at 'The Pump' will continue to fall. Yipee.
Keep an eye out for the 70p/ltr??? Will it happen???
cheers, Dukey.

I think Optimax is sourced from the Ellesmere Port refinery (remember the blockade?)... so maybe that's why it's cheaper in the northwest.
