Yes, 110.9 same at Tesco, but if you go to Tesco & spend £50+ you'll get a 5p off voucher so 105.9per litre

Travelling through Ashford Hill today we noticed the petrol price at the garage there was £119,9 ltre. Why are the prices so different from garage to garage.

Well done to Sainsbury's for raising the price of petrol by 2p in two days. Good going!  

I can understand that fuel prices may creep up when the price of oil increases, but I thought I heard a while back that the price of oil was at it's lowest for a long time, yet the price of petol keeps increasing, and oil companies continue to make record profits! For those who may understand the situation better than I, is there a reason for this, or is it just a case of oil companies charging what they like, just because they can and making hay while the sun shines?

Also, whereas the price of super unleaded used to be as much as 15p more than regular unleaded, it is now usually only a few pence more. I just dont understand it.

....and the Chancellor adding 2p when VAT went down to cover lost revenue and leaving it there when VAT went back up.
