Most places round these parts are 10p more than that.The only ones that are cheaper (big motorway service type places) usually seem to squeeze nearly 60 litres into a 60litre tank which isnt even empty. ::)

Remember diesel, make the most of it once the uptake surges the Gov will soon throw the environmental argument out the window and slam the door.

I doubt there will be a surge tbh.The surge was several years ago,but things have calmed down since. The price has risen 20% in my 18 months of LPG car  ownership,which is enough to put me off doing it again. Diesel next time for me.  ;)

I was thinking (and perhaps 32E) about an increased tax take from the 'government'.

Paid 67.7p at Asda yesterday, with a further 1p a litre off for using Asda card, so 66.7p.

Normal place I use is 69.9p (Shell).

The local BP is 74.9p, but I try not to use those inbred retards. Too expensive on tyres.

Most expensive around here is the BP on the A5 between Towcester and MK - 79.9p, has been that price since all those price hikes last winter.

74.9 cheapest afaik. But they also still do a loyalty card giving an average of 5p a litre saving over 10 visits. So 69.9p... Smart.

Malthurst Roman, bp franchise. :)

I struggle to get it near here (Welwyn in the middle of Hertfordshire). I have to travel at least once every 7 days about 12 miles to fill up at 72.9p.  All local places have either stopped retailing it or comlained thattheir wholesaler was not making it worthwhile.
