Shell is a better fuel than the supermarket c***,you will normally be better off paying the extra coppers to obtain more mpg.

That Garage at St Boswell is a bit steep with their pricing, they certainly capitalise on the fact that they are on a Main trunk road.

Odd how I've noticed diesel is dearer in London than Ashford Kent!

Blame the referendum vote knocking the £ down against the $ by 20%.

That is nonsense! During the lifetime of the EU you are one of many who have paid a darned sight more for your fuel than this - I did not hear people saying it was the fault of the EU ! . What we have is Stock Market manipulation, along woth world markets acting like cartels.......and forcing the price up. Imo it is not sustainable as production around the world is still in the doldrums, on top of that ask yourself as to how people are going to find this extra money without affecting their pockets/purses.

The politicians have not grasped that populations around the world are financially screwed, until that is rectified it will keep on going around in circles. I said some years ago this......"This is the way that we now live", that was in reference to those who said we were in a recession! I did say........This is not a recession.........it is financial suppression - I stand by that.

And the money rich Saudis have cut production meaning high prices on the markets. We need Vlad the Russian to pump some diesel out to bring the prices down.

Shell best, 119/127 for vpower, ran down e7 tank over new year, £89.00 vpower should give the engine a nice drink of the good stuff, noticed Sainsbury's was115, used to work for esso and I may I add supermarket fuel is total crap compared to shell, BP put too much bio fuel in theirs but their Ultimate is decent, Vpower the best.
