Rip Off England

dobe · 25th July 2011, 09:25

Went to a log cabin 10 miles outside Hull last week for a family holiday and was shocked at the price of fuel down there.

I went to a local garage and filled up with £62 of diesel for my 300 mile journey with the fuel being £1.34 a litre.

When i was driving through Hull most of the garage`s were priced around £1.40 a litre for diesel, it got more pricey the further i went into the countryside with the nearest garage to where i was staying in a small town called Bilton the price was £1.42.

Is this roughly the average price for fuel in England or is it just that part of the country?

The whole of UK I'm afraid.

Petrol in West London tends to be circa £1.37 at the moment.

I went down to Eastbourne at the weekend and down there I spotted some at circa £1.32

There's an Esso station near Wimborne that always seems to have the lowest prices around. I wonder what their prices are currently?

Work out the difference of that and £1.37 in Gallons = 54p per gallon more!!

It's 1.36 around here where I fill up. Still scandalous if you ask me.

£1.37 and i'm righ next to the Shell oil refinery, within 1/2 a mile and the cost are still high.

braggle · 25th July 2011, 11:01

It's £1.45 at holmrook in cumbria and that's not the most expensive. Its getting ridiculous if you don't live near a supermarket.

AndyNo1 · 25th July 2011, 11:28

I paid 1.41 for Tesco Momentum (99RON).

We stayed at Westfield lodges in a place called Fitling.

Man they have a cheek even giving that place a name!!!!

There's about 4 houses in the area. And I thought where I stay is the middle of no-where.

I only passed the garage in Bilton on my way to Asda for Magners to drink myself stupid because of the boredom.
