A short rant but wtf?

I filled my S up yesterday at a services on the M6, 71 feking quid (£65 from empty at local Shell Vpower), I should have put in a gallon and drove off the motorway ... I had no idea motorway services charged more for fuel than 'standard' filling stations ... oh well lesson learned!

 

How often do you drive on motorways!?

 

I am shocked....

 

Still cheaper than up here grrrrrrr

 

Everything is dearer in motorway service stations. Captive audience.

 

It's nothing to do with captive audience (well it's a little bit to do with captive audience) - the main reason for higher costs is the rent costs are enormous vs a standard forecourt / retail unit.

£6 on the cost of a tank? I'd pay £6 to not have to faff around going to ANOTHER fuel station to put the rest of the tank of fuel in.

 

Paul, do you live under a stone or something?

 

Exactly what I was wondering. Who doesn't know that services are expensive?

 

Convenience is a rip off...they know they've got you by the balls...

 

But it's worth it because of the amount of great, useful and relevant things you can buy for your journey! :0
