Kent honestly seems to be one of the highest for fuel prices, even Canterbury is quite expensive now albeit cheaper than here by a considerable amount.

I noticed that on Monday when I was driving around Kent to do a couple of Fuel Drains ::)

I think the Kent area could be quite a profitable one, judging on the number of jobs I've done & turned down in that area :-\

I was a bit horrified to pay nearly 40 quid to fill the Westfield the other day. :o

It only has a 27 litre tank although it does need Super unleaded. Last time it was in regular use (going back 18 months or so) it was impossible to get 30 quid's worth in. :(

It can't go on like this. :-\

You're right Kevin, but I don't see how it'll get any better.
Paid £139.9 this morning, which is a little bit more than usual  :'(

I can't see them ever reducing the amount of tax on it  >:(

At best it could be frozen where it is, but would take months to sort something like that  :(

For those of us that are that old, that really brings it home.

For what it's worth to locals, Asda by Dartford Bridge/Bluewater in Kent seems to be the cheapest anywhere....and I do travel around a bit....133.9 the other night

I use the waitrose near me, as it's near(!), but mainly as it's always a penny cheaper than everyone else.
However, still 3p up on that asda!
