Having spent a long weekend in North Devon, when I filled up at Sainsbury's before I left I paid 118.9 per litre. Driving back yesterday on the M5 I pulled into Services with a BP filling station and they were charging 128.9 per litre!! :o Now I know fuel prices are high at the moment but that's just piracy. >:(
Needless to say I drove straight out without filling up and I pulled in at the next services and Shell were charging 124.9 per litre which is still expensive but not such blatant highway robbery as BP.
BP won't be getting any business from me in future.

Pity every one doesnt do the same thing, but sadly company reps dont give a poo.

There was an email going round the Net to boycott BP and Esso !

Exactly. I bet fuel prices would get a bit lower if they could only claim the national average price for fuel. make 'em shop around a bit. ;D

Not so sure that's entirely true these days as more and more company car drivers are opting for mileage payments instead of company paid fuel in order to lower their Benefits In Kind tax which has become quite crippling in recent years. However, not the case with company van drivers as there were plenty of those flashing past me on the motorway at around 90mph!! :-?

I think most normal people wouldn't even consider using a motorway service area for either fuel or the restaurant services.
Haven't stopped at them for years, they are nothing short of legalized robbers.....

Theres a BP garage directly opposite my road, i refuse to fill up in there, because theyre charging 122.9 per litre, whereas round the corner the Shell garage are charging 118.9. im surprised theyre still in business tbh, the forecourt is always empty

Mind you, the money saved by not using BP is worth more than the Nectar points!! ;)

50p per litre for pump white in the Shot ;)
That aside though, if people want to see the duty drop on fuel then it needs cohesion. Unfortunately, that particular skill was pretty much wiped out by Nu Labia a long time ago.

The only thing I ever buy from services is a newspaper as thats just about the only thing they can't make up their own price for. £1.12 for a King Size Twix, my arse >:( >:( >:( >:(

1/4 of a mile away its Texaco at 121.9.

I must admit, I only use them out of necessity. If I have the time to spare I normally leave the motorway and find a nice little pub or cafe and local filling station. :)
