FUEL PRICE WAR........Boycott BP and Esso.
Range Rover Blues:
I usually go to Tesco or Morrisons as they do LPG, I keep an eye on prices and the Total place in Worksop is a good benchmark for what's cheap.
Spend £50 at Tesco and get 5p a litre off you fuel, go on, do it. They are giving their fuel away and the rest of the industry hates them, I had friend who worked in the industry and I've heard it first hand.
I saved £4.50 today taking the LSE in to Tesco (shame I picked the most expensive Tesco :roll: ) and if the fools are going to keep doing that, I'm going to keep shopping there.
bullfrog:
As already said most of the cost per litre is for TAX so why not organise a slow drive around parlimant square !
Oh that one didnt work either. :?
"If you have to ask what it does to the gallon you cant afford it", As bentley used to say. :wink:
I have been test driving Merc's all day and I have to say I though their new 320 Cdi (24valve and 0-62.5 in 7.2 seconds) is great 8)
I tried the ML and the e class and at 40+ MPG I would have one of those !
We topped 100 MPH and the trip said 27.8 MPG ! 8)
Shame they are £50+K
:shock:
Everyone moans about this and that but at the end of the day Nothing will change.
People say " its cheap to live in spain" or "the fuels cheap in the states"
But in reality Its not that bad a place to live in the UK
Just my oppinion though so please dont take offence :D
Horness:
--- Quote from: "Miniman" ---This thing about supermarket fuel is not truth.... Old wives tail.... It all comes from the same source.

I've heard that too - but how does it explain the power loss and drop in MPG whenever I am "forced" to use supermarket fuel?
While Tesco had their 5p off per litre (when you spend £50 in store), I was filling up there every week, never getting over 24mpg, and my Disco drove like a milk float.
Now I'm using Esso (closest to home) and MPG never drops below 26 and the performance is much better. This is the case with BP too. (Starting in the winter months also improved when I switched.)
There is a Morrisons, Tesco, BP and Esso garage all within 3 miles of my house, and the price at the pumps is often the same at every one of them.
So if it all comes from the same source, and for me the prices are pretty much the same around town - why boycott?
If we boycott the majors and switch to supermarket fuels, then the overall sale of fuel does not change, it's just sold from different pumps.
bullfrog:
I think the source is the same but maybe they have different "mixes" for different customers ?
If TESCO was as good as BP ultimate and 10p litre cheaper where would you fill up ??
jaws:
i fill up at morrisons or shell,there is no differnce in the mpg or performance of my everyday car.yet i fill up at jet or texico and the mpg drops and i get a smokey car!bp is more expensive anyways so i don't use em!oh by the way miniman,the beast that is my zook has gone earlier 2day :cry: :cry: :cry:
