Red face V Power, Pentwyn - HOW MUCH !!!!!

I've always known that the Shell garage at Pentwyn was expensive, so as a rule I don't use it unless necessary. As I was on vapour tonight on the way home I didn't risk leaving it until I got to Newport so bit the bullet.

The words "**** ME" echoed across the forecourt as I spotted £1.09.9 a litre on the pumps.

Why the hell that petrol station is so busy when its so expensive is beyond me - I guess if you want V Power there is no other local alternative, but the price of diesel and unleaded is also so high, I cant see why anyone would use it regularly for non V Power fuel.

Is that the most expensive around ?

Gareth

I am pretty sure it was 108.9 @ Sarn Services the other day - what is it at other Welsh garages then?
