Yes you got it, I just paid that for some fuel!!



I got caught short today, no fuel from the weekend and left it late leaving this morning so thought I would stop in a garage on my way. White Post Garage on the outskirts of Yeovil... DO NOT USE!



I picked the pump up and seen it click to £1.69.9 and thought this must be wrong but just in case I will only put a bit in to get me to my destination. When I went to pay I told the asked why is it so expensive? her reply, it has speciali aditives in the fuel!!! I explained I can get 99 ron for £1.36 a litre and she just shrugged her shoulders! In not so many words I told her how I would not be coming back. Got my point across to the other people buying petrol as well.



I am going to post this on most of the forums I use to spread the word to anyone local to not use this place. They are a complete piss take



Rant over

 

Price has been creeping up 95RON is now 138.9 at local Shell and I put V Power yesterday at 146.9

Cheapest is about 134.9 around here for 95RON and Esso 97 is 140.9 although I rarely use that as it is out of my way.

 

Gone from around £1.32 to £1.40 for basic unleaded around here lately, makes me wonder how long it will be before it becomes less pure and more full of additives, especially supermarket petrol where its all about profit and the quality suffers because of this?

 

I think the tunners should look into running these cars on normal unleaded... maybe run a bigger spec on the car to allow for the drop in quality of fuel or something? This is taking the piss charging this kind of money for it. I cough at £1.36.6 which is what I pay for 99 ron

 

I paid £1.39 for Tesco 99 yesterday

 

I was paying €2.20 a litre in Italy recently!

 

FUCK!!!!! I thought my mate got it bad when we filled his E46 M3 in Eindhoven, Holland 2 weeks ago.

 

But when you convert the euro to £ surely that is around the same as we pay?

 

Cyprus is 1.37EUR per litre so a fuck load cheaper than us!

 

I was in Belgium last week paying €1.88.9 for 95 Ron didn't dare look how much 102 Ron was.

 

Fuel prices are noticeably more expensive than they have been of late. I use both petrol and diesel (TDCi Mondeo and a motorbike) so keep an eye on both.

Talking about getting ripped off - Carole Nash charged me £35 this morning to amend my insurance to change to my new plate on the bike - £35 ! Cheeky cunt even had the balls to tell me that they need to send out new doc's. They email them to me !!!! I was NOT happy and told him that come renewal time they can fuck right off. Thieving bastards.

 

WTF .... Shell only £1.43ish I think. Vpower

 

Surely noone in their right mind would buy fuel at White Post

Robbing bastards that's for sure. Back in the first fuel protests (2008?) they put their prices up to £2 a litre when it was nearer £1 a litre normally.

I might buy a bottle of milk there once in a while, and my friends sometimes take their mud caked off roaders there to block White Post's drains with the pressure washer rathern than their own , but not one of us give em a penny for fuel the cnuts

Shoulda popped round here, I've got a few jerry cans of Momentum for occasions just like you mentioned - quicker than popping to Tesco / Shell when you're just after a top up!

 

And a good buy ... Tesco momentum 99 was the best high octane fuel you can buy ( top gear ) it's all I use on saph cos

 

fuel crept up in price a few pence during the olympics guess the government didnt think we would notice eh?

 

Tesco 99 ron 139.9 in lincoln yesterday

 

Its not you can get more ignition on Shell vpower . What would Topgear know about anything technical to do with motoring its just a comedy programme for youngsters.

 

I know, I should of just been late for work and gone to another garage. I will remember that next time I am up shits creak without a paddle

I remember the 2008 thing, people remember that. I remembered it and that is why I only put in a £10, just enough to get me the very short distance I was going

 

I pay 148.9 for BP Ultimate diesel.

Makes me cry

 

is that tescos 99 any good?i have never used it always stuck to my optimax for the cossie
