Been going down around here, and should go down some more in the next couple of months as the wholesale gas price has dropped ;) ;)

79.9 here. Not really worth the bother anymore for me tbh. Will probably sell the bike,buy a little diesel,and then consider the Omegas future after that.

New BP at North Colchester (By the stadium) in 10p/L cheaper than that :o :o ;) ;)

But it apparently puts 59.8 litres into my 60l tank when the tank isnt even empty. ;)
Im not often out that way tbh,although I will be tomorrow morning so will fill up there.

LPG is always under pressure this time of year due to central heating demand.

That said, been 73.9 here for ages. Not the cheapest area but relatively stable <touches wood>. ;)

Iirc Ive used it 4 times. First time (just after it opened) I was pleasantly surprised how little went in the tank, according to the pump. The next 3 times it took a hell of a lot more (according to the pump) than I thought it would. I will probably be filling up there tomorrow morning,so will see what happens then. ;)

The Shell in Maidenhead is not the cheapest for petrol or diesel (E.G. 3p/litre dearer than Shell bourne end which is 4 miles away)but sells their lpg cheaper at 69.9p ???
Charging what they can get for it IMO. Shells in Reading are 5p a litre more iirc but ate right next to m4. Your Miadenhead Shell has particularly poor access to the M4, which is why I never use it.
Sounds like other drivers are doing the same perhaps, and they've dropped the price to shift it.
 Filled up at my usual Malthurst Roman BP yesterday, (as they have an accumulator discount card giving an average of 5p a litre off over 10 visits) sadly I didn't bother me arse to notice the displayed price though.

Fixed that for you ;) Be careful as last time I played with the figures it needed to pass 1.05 a litre to be cheaper from bottles.

Not forgetting that evading Road Duty is a very serious crime ;)

I thought it was the other way round, going down around here, theres a few Shell Garages on my locals travel currently at 69.9, a month back they were in the mid 70's.

Last 2 days has seen the local BP go from 72.9 to 73.9 to 74.9
yep 74.9 at my local, but less an average of 5p a litre with their loyalty card.

Petrol has just gone up to £1.31 round here (Leeds)
If diesel goes up much more, it will be statistically cheaper to run a small engined petrol car if you do less than 18,000 miles a year.  ???
