Fuel prices...what a joke

Not a record price per litre though - here in Shetland cheapest litre of diesel is 117.9p It was up to 119.9p 2 weeks ago, so it may be coming down again? Some hope!!4 x 4 x Really Far!

It's always been dear up that way. I filled up coming off the Hamnavoe and got a shock. My folks live on Shapinsey and run a petrol Lexus RX and GS. Fuel on the island is horrendous.

And £1.05 in all the filing stations in Stirling except for Morrison's BP forecourt (the Land Rover Morrison's that is!) who are more expensive. Although today 2 x Shell forecourts, Sainsbury and Tesco had run dry at their diesel pumps and only the Morrison's supermarket had any stock.Now a disillusioned new Land Rover buyer and have jumped ship to something less expensive and more reliable that hugs trees.... now driving a Mini Countryman PHEV as well as my trusty and brilliant 1996 Epsom Green Defender90 Tdi300

When I was on the Isle of Harris in September I was paying £1.11 per litre for diseasal - dread to think what it is now.
I am paying £1.06 for it in Stafford and £1.07 for it Binfield (Berkshire)
I am not impressed, but I would rather pay at the pumps than on a road pricing scheme.The M-Power Express
