Veggie oil is £15.99 for 20 litres in Costco at the moment, so that's 80p a litre.  :y

LPG is 69p litre  ;D
71.9p in deepest Brakkers this morning. Guess the cold weather is setting in...
69p at Bp spencers wood, not including the 5p avg off a litre loyalty card. ;)

(Although ring them first if using them, they've had a problem with a leaking holding tank)

T'was 69.9p in Brakkers on Tues, and its that time of year. Suspect it will be close to 80p within 8 weeks...

Trouble with that Spencer's Wood place is its too far out of the way if I were doing your commute...  ...although that depends on how much cheaper/available it is elsewhere obviously.  The one at Towcester used to be cheap for me, but wasn't worth the 20m round trip.  Obviously, though, Brakkers BP is heavy on tyres.

Oh, gixer, I would add if you're in Oxford, the BP in Cowley does that same loyalty scheme :y.  Though I'm suspicious of the pumps that seem to be able to get 72l into my tank, plus one of the pumps has been missing the rubber guard for about a year ;D

Currently around 71p here. From empty the local pumps usually squeeze between 58L and 59.9L into my 60L tank - allegedly. ::)

Its been 65.9p for a while around here, went up yesterday to 69.9p, suppose this is the start of the Xmas increase where LPG starts to get its demand this time of year (oil / gas heating)
