The old days.
In 1977 I got my first bike and it was 92p a gallon 20p lt. I thought that was expensive but In 1973 when a gallon went up to 34p about 7.5p lt I remember my old dears hitting the roof but at least they got double quadrable green shield stamps then.

I was in hartlepool today and I paid 75.9 at a shell garage , I had done about 30 miles on petrol so I paid it rather than burn any more petrol but thats the most I've paid for LPG.

I need to fill again tomorrow but I'll be doing that at my usual place at 65p a litre.

Over here your looking around £1.28~1.34 for diesel, thankfully im about 8 miles from the border into the Republic of Ireland. It works out about £1.14~1.15 litre there.

Morrisons Leominster was 129.9 yesterday 131.9 today
Bengreys Texaco now 133.9

diesel prices. I don't pay much attention to the unleaded sorry.

So glad I car share with the Mrs to work so we take turns in filling the car up. It halved my fuel bill when she started working here

Wish this goverment would encourage the use of bio diesel in this country but of course they wont as it upsets the petrol companies and they cant get the same revenue as normal fuel, I know ASDA did try last year with bio30 but that got withdrawn after a short period, and at the time it was at least 15p per litre cheaper than normal diesel, about time we looked at making our own but that has its own pit falls.

127.9 for diesel yeaterday at Morrisons near Chester. Unleaded was about 124 ltr. When I bought my diesel just over 3 years ago diesel was cheaper than petrol but the thieving goverment saw the change to diesel and made it dearer soon after.

Over here in NI, diesel has been more expensive than petrol for a long time as diesel has been the dominate fuel type for quite a number of years here.
