Obviously, the downside of all that forecourt displeasure is the fact I am currently sat in WIM, with piggy bank in hand :(


Tunnie - that camber I did by eye, whilst jacked up, 1d29. Pretty frigging close considering we did no measuring at all

Add to that it was bloody cold and a bit rushed, fine job!  :y

40,000 miles of rubber. Just add a new set of tyres to that LPG cost & it'll be cheaper for TB to run on petrol ;D
In the case of the local BP, its always a case of leaving rubber, no matter what I fill up with.

It should be an easy process - pull up, fill, walk in, pay promptly, walk out.  Not with these useless inbreds.

Won't go back down to 35p, but think it will ease back to the 65-70ppl once demand for domestic heating drops...

Nah, it'll do what petrol does every single time..

Shoots up from (as examples) £1.20 to £1.30 and we all complain, it drops back to £1.25 and we all think ourselves lucky.. meanwhile it's still 5p dearer. Next time it goes up to £1.35 and back to £1.30, and on, and on, and on..

the man that owns rother gas in rotherham told me that in the summer the Americans bought 100,000 tons of lpg and paid up front..well they have decieded that they want it now so all 8 of the uk refineries have been churning it out for the americans...before christmas they had to wait 2 weeks for deliveries and had sold out before they came into stock...might be why lpg prices are high >:(

I know nothing about LPG, but if householders are allowed to store it for domestic use, can motorists do the same and use it  for topping up their tank?

Jaime, you have a PM  regarding TD chips. :y
