Are shoppers in Bath better off?
I don’t know why, but I was always led to believe that the price of fuel charged at a supermarket was the same across all outlets within its chain. :-[
I discovered today that, that is not the case – Sainsbury’s in Bath is 4 pence a litre dearer for diesel than its sister supermarket in Frome. :-?

Look at Marlborough, i went past the garage there today, and he was charging £1.44.9 a litre(Unleaded), cheap for him!

Look at the demographic... They expect the good citizens of Bath to be a little more affluent than the Fromeys (and to have fewer fingers too perhaps... ;))

Ye Scotty, I was kinda thinking that must be the case. :-[
;D
I’m starting a decorating job in Bath soon. Do you think I would be compromising my socialist beliefs if I put my rates up? ;) :P

Not if your client is a Tory ;D
Re: Are shoppers in Bath better off?
I believe that an extra £20 is not unreasonable if you are paying that much. Swindon is cheaper than that aswell!

Graeme, I always try and treat people as I would expect to be treated myself. I hope you are not suggesting that the Tories would deliberately rip-off ordinary folk like you and I? :P :P :P ::) ::) ::)

Trowbridge is 2p more than a few areas. ASDA Longwell Green is cheapest I have found, up to 5p cheaper than anywhere else
Re: Are shoppers in Bath better off?
Bath fuel is a nightmare..especially when you run a handful of cars for a business there :( asda in frome is usually the cheapest of everywhere
