V-power 91.9p/litre at my local shell
During that recent-ish fuel shock, BP ultimate touched 107p/litre in places! |

Same price for me for the last few weeks = 91.9/l
Shell service station at Shooters Hill/A2 Sun in Sands roundabout. Seems to be the same at others locally too. Depends on the franchise to some extent, but the price differences you see are to do with local competition, rent, volume that the gararge buys (is it an indy 1 off in the sticks, or a city set up with a few forecourts in the group). Good old supply and demand. Having said that, I'm sure that the petrol company sets some pretty clear guidelines. Oli

One thing which is such a rip off is the fact that two petrol stations of the same company just a mile apart can have a price difference of 3 to 5p/litre!
Why? Coz one is a local place and one is at a motorway service station! Well that's my experience of round here, anyway. Pete |

Motorway services are outrageous because they have a sitting target, who's going to drive to find a cheaper one when it could be miles away? I try to avoid them at all costs if possible, when I get caught out it always hurts. Ali
