Prices near me

It goes up every day. Some of those prices are dramatic. Petrol stations tend to be a LOT higher than supermarkets over here. Closer to motorway prices. But still...

Heck of a disparity in those E10 prices, Suff. I guess what we're seeing here is that as a fresh load gets delivered to a particular independent petrol station, the prices get hiked to reflect what they're having to buy it in at.
Which does raise questions about the level of fuel being held at the fuel depots / refineries, and who exactly is profiteering ....

Prices go up immediately on current stock Ossie, but drops over months when oil prices fall.

Never changes.

My tank is now full but Sunday I need to drive to Dieppe, 344 miles, then on to Lincolnshire on Monday morning.

I'll be tracking prices to see whether I need to fill up before I cross or after. Lincolnshire is fairly cheap and it depends on how much fuel I have left when I get to the port.

Bit of a variation between the town's two filling stations today:
Esso - 162.9 / 173.9 (unleaded / diesel)
Shell - 169.9 / 179.9

Glad I topped up @ 155.9 last week!
