There is one in Cardiff for 41p!

Quite a way out though, so I use a central garage at 45p./..

It's 102.9 by me
I'm sorry but if you take an average of 60 litres to fill up this makes £1.80 difference
I cant be bothered to queue to save £1.80.
Fuel prices need cutting by 10p/litre

i had mine set low, problem is i have a partially blocked cat and have to pull out on to a fast A road....when it's cold i need all the smooth power i can get......

i have increased mine now, still noticed it is a bit lumpy but nowhere near as bad, although today it took a hell of a long time before it smoothed out.

was reading something that said about using petrol on a regular basis as it help to stop the injectors from going funny

I filled up a few weeks ago at 99.9p thinking it was a bargain from my usual garage.  Carrying all the extra fuel around has dropped mpg from average 28 to 22 so total saving lost. But then I have my air con on, heated seats on & front fogs - so the "I can't see out of my windscreen" brigade have a fighting chance of seeing me.......may have something to do with it :-/

Gentlemen, I am shocked. We should not be congratualting ourselves on paying 99.9p per litre or £4.50 per gallon for petrol.

I was chuffed to bits the other day when I found a place at 98.9p and then realised what I was saying to myself. As Miggy said the other day, we will continue to pay the price as we have no alternative. I am lucky to be a low mileage driver and it still costs me £100 per month to run my car. I guess that means I'm now paying about £70 in tax. How some of you can afford to be paying that per week, mainly to get to work, is beyond me.
