About driving up north, is the vast difference in petrol prices. Here, it is currently around £1.20 in the supermarket and around £1.27 in other national ones.
We found supermarket petrol ranged between £1.26 and £1.29. The national ones as high as £1.39!
Disgusting really.
Even where we chose to eat never stays the same. Whenever we find a place that suits us, after a few visits it has disappeared. Yesterday was a case in point and we ended up have a hot pastrami and mozzarella bagel from a garage. It actually wasn’t too bad and filled us up but we had hoped for a breakfast of some kind.
Gas prices seem the same way here. The next city over at the same place I always buy my gas here (the Coop as we get cash back at the end of the fiscal year) is always a few cents cheaper. I really can't understand why.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Neither can we but it is probably greed on their behalf.
DeleteI would cheer to find diesel at £1.20!
ReplyDeleteIt has got expensive hasn’t it. That’s why we changed back to petrol from diesel.
DeleteHow on earth can you afford gas! We paid 93 cents a liter yesterday which is the equivalent of 53 pence.
ReplyDeleteBetween 1/2 and 3/4 of the price is tax and production cost. Diesel is on average between 7p and 10p per litre more!
DeleteI remember my first husband being horrified when petrol went up to £1 a GALLON. We used to put £5 in the car each week and that was our limit … thank goodness it was a little Mini.
ReplyDeleteHere at the Van the price is around the £1.29 mark at the moment. Back home in Wales I tend to fill up when I'm in Llandudno, as in Asda it's always a couple of pence cheaper.
Those were the days, petrol by the gallon. Did it change when we joined the EU, I can’t remember.
