I'm afraid that's why I'm going to advertise our Galaxy. Just can't afford to run 2 cars and I need my diesel for work so the galaxy has to go. 2.3 petrol and it's great on motorways but going around town and that petrol light seems to come on a lot faster these days. Shame cos it's the best car we've ever had.

Prices aren't fair and aren't in line with inflation, it's a case of not getting what you pay for - but who cares, the government doesn't, so it's never going to change.
I'm going to work in France at the start of summer, and I can't wait, I'd hate to have to come back over to this dump.

BP are most independtly owned.

Shell are cheaper due to royalties around here as BP use the same petrol as Shell as it is all from the same pot.

It is only additives what make it a brand petrol.

Same reason Sainsbury's were usin BP fuel but lost the contract to Texaco iirc.

I used to be like that haha, usually Shell is cheapest or thereabouts anyway, but my engine (like a lot of engines out there, Google is your friend) runs like a bag of nails on the new Fuelsave diesel, so I don't really have the option of Shell anymore (unless I want to put in V-Power which has no real benefit lol).

So I just go to Esso now. I don't really care about prices, it always nice to save a few pence, and admittadly if everywhere were say 128.9p and I saw a garage charging 123.9p, id probably get a tank and save the 5p per litre, but generally, ill just pay whatever they are charging.

Its only money at the end of the day. A lot of the people I know who moan about the prices, are quite happy to go and spend £100+ a weekend clubbing, or £20+ down the pub a few nights a week, but when it comes to fuel, they will have a good hours rant about it. When it hits £2.00 per litre, ill probably change my mind lol.

Taxes have to come from somewhere, and unfortunately drivers are the easiest to hit. Drive less and walk more if its biting. For commuters, if you can take public transport within the local area, someone I know worked it out recently, with current fuel pricing, VED (unless you have a hairdryer of course), insurance costs and maintenance costs, it works out far cheaper to get a season pass such as a Solo (if they still do them) or a Trio than to commute by car. But of course, thats if its convenient.
