£1.39.9 for unleaded would be cheap in Ashford, there isn't one garage including supermarkets which is under £1.40 at the minute.

Tesco - 132.9
Morrisons - 135.9

I only paid 120.9 per litre at Morrisons. SWMBO had a 15p per litre of voucher.
I will be using the 10p per litre voucher from Tesco after filling the BMW, tomorrow.

I went and filled my bike up today.The pump clicked of at £20,and I could probably have squeezed another couple of quid in if I tried.
Also,went and filled the car with LPG today and was informed it will be the last time as the garage is closing down in a couple of days.The only other place which sells it and isnt miles out of my way has a pump which is very often out of order. :'(

While US, UK and European Governments pump £$€bns into banks it has to be speculated somewhere to make bonuses a profit and we all need food and energy.  >:( >:( >:(

Government moving from pricing in gallons to litres was a stroke of genius to get us to accept Major's fuel tax escalator. Fuel is now over 30% more expensive in real terms than in 2000.  >:( >:( >:(

In 1973 when I had my first motorbike, we were in the middle of a Middle Eastern crisis (Yom Kippur war) and the price had just jumped from 37p to 50p a gallon (8.11p to 10.96p a litre), so in 36 years it has gone up almost 17x with no sign of this slowing down.  :o :o :o

Granted its dated 1st feb 2012, bet you would be hard pressed to exceed current price in the Western islands of Scotland.

And thats including the supposed 5ppl discount....

Indeed, as Highlander says, the News last week was Saying on some Scottish Isles, the average price was £1.75

We have these pyscological price points, a few years ago, it was paying £1 per litre, now we have been happily paying £1.30 a litre, its time to up it to £1.50, which I'm sure it will be within a few weeks.  I'd expect it to stabilise around there for a while, before the next hike.

€ 1.62  ( £1.36p ) over here which is quite interesting as petrol used to be around 15% to 20% cheaper than UK .
I do suspect that the blaggards  in government over here have decided to raise the tax to UK standards ( along with every other tax revenue stream too ..... >:( )
It just seems to creep up almost daily ,and that's before we bomb Iran.
