That is ridiculous!  >:(

I pay between 111.9 & 116.9
However the company I work for (German...need I say more...) pay us at a rate of 105.9 for business mileage (calculated on average mpg of 47).

This means I have to drive the Passat (yes, broken Passat replaced with new Passat...!  :-[) like a vicar to come close to not being out of pocket on every business trip!

I think I read that there's a shortage of Diesel hence the price increases, they'll use anything these days to screw a few more quid out of us, im off to Tescos for some Rapeseed oil ;)

Asda.

Having an Asda credit card gets me an additional 2p off the price I quoted.

Bugger!
Nearest Asda to me is Reading (12 miles) & a place to avoid because of traffic
Any chance you could note the local Sainsbury's price so that we can determine if pricing is set Nationally or Locally??
