But that's the point, it's not superb. The price per barrel of oil is now at at pre £1 per litre prices and the greedy oil companies know that the public are now used to paying well over £1 a litre so by dropping it to just above £1 the public have been lulled into thinking that it's nice and cheap again......but it's not!! I'd be very surprised if they dropped it below the £1 mark again. :-/

What poxes me off is, we are only about 15 miles away from Shell Stanlow oil refinery, so transportation cost would be much less than alot of other places  >:(

Is the V power worth paying extra for? More miles or just more power ? :-/
