Bloody typical!  Just as I'm about to LPG mine, the price goes up!!  ::)

I bet if I pump up the tires on my bicycle, they'll make cyclists pay road tax!!  >:(

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.

They're doing exactly what they did with diesels. People moved from Petrols to Diesels because, they were more economical and gave better MPG, the Government saw exactly this and thought, money earner! So now Diesel is pretty much everywhere a minimum of 5p a litre more expensive than Petrol (10p here in Ashford). Now they've seen many people are adding LPG to their cars, the price of that is slowly creeping up, it'll be a £1 a litre before you know it  :y

You're bang on with the diesel thing though Del!

Diesel costs less that petrol to produce, so should be cheaper to buy at the pumps.  But they wait time everyone has bought a diesel car, and then decide it's really bad for the planet and tax it to hell and back!!  >:(

Yeah, but then you'd have to buy a Cavvy diesel or 2.5TD Mig...  ::)

Actually, I've just realised I'm letting you collect an a-frame from the back of an unlocked 2.5TD tomorrow!!  :o

Just remember, I know where you live matey!!  :D

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 ???

Would get a very small diesel - cheap tax / insurance etc to replace the bike I think. Possibly keep the mig for occassional use at least for a while.Probably get rid before the year is out though.

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

Had been going down around here - BP was 77.9p before xmas.

Note the BPs in MK have gone up a couple of pence this week as well.

I'd hazard a guess that they're creeping it up a little and will drop it again. Remember that LPG pump price should follow the Wholesale Gas Price (roughly) with a delay of a couple of months ;)
