Almost fell over when I filled up today: 110.9p

Thing is, it's the only petrol station for miles near my house It's a BP and the other 2 petrol stations within about 5-7 miles from home are all BP's. No others on the way to anywhere

I know it's been done several times before but I'm truly shocked!

Move to high wycombe, it is cheaper for fuel there, and there are lots of petrol stations.

I'd rather pay 199.9p than move up there

I think you should post that on one of the US boards on here as they always whinge like feck when 'gas' costs them 20p for a tank full.

Tell them that we buy it at $8.63 a gallon and try and convince them it's not the 1st of April.

Funny thing is, for all the forore when fuel hit 84.9p no-one seems bothered any more.

BP is way more expensive than any other Super UL. I use Esso Supreme and it's currently 101.9
