Thumbs up CHEAPEST OPTIMAX IN THE UK......?

Festival Park, Hanley, Stoke on Trent..............82.6p/L.

Is this the cheapest in England?

Plus some nice points on a full tank.

Chris, funny thing is that Stone Shell is always dearer than Festival Park, probably a post code thing as Stone is considered to be more up-market than Stoke.

Filled up on the A50 last week, near the end, nearly 90p/L.......!!!

Skoosh - full tank again.

No need to look any further is there now?

i was going to post about this, filled up the other day, stuck the nozzle in and started pumping away

and shat myself when i saw the price, 82.9p, i was convinced i had put sumthing bad in my tank by mistake. took a while to sink in, why has the price dropped by so much recently?

Probably something to do with a) major price crash in crude oil recently and..

b) Supermarket price wars as a result of (a).

Long may it continue.
