Default Fuel Prices

I couldnt believe what the prices were like today.
I put a small amount of fuel in at BP today as I had no choice to get Shell. The price in Milton Keynes 106.9.
I then went to Sainsburys in Northampton Super Unleaded 98.9
A massive 8p difference.

So I guess what I am getting at is can they really justify these differences or are we just being robbed day in day out?

V-Power has actually gone down slightly at the garage in Doncaster that I usually use (at least it had last weekend). It was 102.9p for a few weeks and has dropped to 100.99p...

I bought a peugeot 106 diesel a couple of weeks ago. Since I bought it i have put £55 of diesel in it and done over 800 miles. Diesel in newport is currently cheaper than 95octane although V power is over a quid. I'm saving around 30 quid a week in fuel by keeping the Impreza for weekends only.

do you not find the inside to be tiny and uncomfortable. like your feet are pushed inwards on the pedals, and the seat/drivers position is crap and twisted. i had a little 1.5 diesel in between two scoobs.... never again. lasted 7 weeks
