Which is complete crap cos its the small independant suppliers with the cheapest prices.

Average of 43ppl from the small places (both in Leeds and nr Wolverhampton), the big customers like Shell and BP are charging 55-58ppl.

Hear hear !
Anyone remember corner shops ? Local, convenient, friendly ..... then they lost out to the retail giants.

So how come the independants can still sell cheaper LPG ?
It simply doesn't add up when you think about it...  Someone is telling porkies  :^o

ian_s:
they will charge whatever people will pay
so if they are selling at 55ppl and people are buying it, why would they cut the price?

We had an article, and various letters in responce, recently in our local paper about Tesco petrol pricing.
Seems they were charging more per litre for fuel than other Tesco's yet were on a busy road so actually would have had a higher turnover. What was highlighted was Tesco state they will match any other fuel price within 3 miles  yet even the independants were cheaper so this simply wasn't true.
My opinion is it's pure greed by big outlets and in this case the public airing simply made Tesco drop the price to the same as other stores.
They have , however, increased the price at another store which has nobody cheaper within 3 miles  :evil:
The public should reply with their money and buy elsewhere but of cource that doesn't happen  :roll:
