I'm about to go have a look, but how accurate can it be? We sometimes change prices 3 times a week.

Dave, it's supposed to be no more than 1 day out - it's no good for SUL though, they only publish NUL. Have you started selling the Ultra Low SUL yet?

Ta,

Matt.

Neil.

That sounds great, but would you object to input from other sources?
I'm sure the TVR and M3 boys will be interested as well.
It can only be good for wider coverage....

I contacted "PetrolBusters" and asked if tehy were to offer the facility of the price of SUL.

I was told that the information they received was mainly from fleet vehicles drivers and that there wasn't sufficient data to offer the information.

I've noticed that The AA has just about taken over this site in the last 8 months.

I think if there was a website of Petrol stations selling SUL with recent prices, it would eb a great help. How many people know all the garages in their area that offer SUL.

Mmm, I find an idea coming along

Yer pity it does not show sul prices for each locality, SUL in dover is hard to find , thinks there is about 5 garages that sell it within a reasonable driving distance, tesco sell it, when the pump works at more than a trickle, and looking at the prices for nul petrol they are the most expensive in the area ?

Well I think we need a source showing us SUL buyers where to buy petrol within your locality and prices etc..

<B>So... I'm currently working on a site that will be run by Subaru owners for Subaru owners. </B>

<B>This site will eventually have the locations of garages that sell SUL and pricing</B>

<B>The information that will be fed into this will come predominantley from you the SUL buyers. You can submit information on a garage where you know sells SUL and at what price & date.
I hope that this facility will be of use to you fellow Subaru owners</B>

<B>Please note that this service will be totally FREE!!!! and run voluntarily</B>

<B>Will have something up in approx 1 week</B>

I was thinking about this yesterday, There are quite a few garages near me that sell it but most don't advertise it on the price boards. Always worth actually stopping off to check before discounting them. Hope it's all up by May as I'm off to Scotland and will need all the SUL I can get
