I remember the Q8 garage charging about 20p per litre more for 98 RON about 3 years ago...

At that price, I wonder how long it's been sitting in their tank for.


We liberated Q8 from Iraq, and they stiff us on their fuel (I'll get my coat).

Q8 offer fuel tokens in the local press which can be redeemed against the price at the pump. At least they do in Cambridgeshire , where we have loads of Q8 stations. This brings the price right down.
...and yes Q8 sul is 98 ron.

Virgin,

Is that Q8 in Clapham? If so they've been expensive for years - even more so since the bypass was finished!!

There's a Q8 I pass by on the way to work. Has a Spar attached to it. There is literally a Shell station across the street from it, yet it charges a fair bit more per litre for just about everything.

just so you know.

Q8 petroleum Uk ltd was bought about 3 months ago, all the garages will be changing over to comm op and they will charge what they want for fuel. The company that bought q8 is a specilist company heavily involved with imoprting people from sri lanka pakistan ect and moving their families into the garages to work. as they have done with a number of independent garages.

vote with your feet dont use them.

Very Interesting.

Also, I never use Q8 beacuse they are ALWAYS more expensive than everywhere else anyway.
