Diesel went up to £1.39 per litre at Beckington services today. :'(
May I suggest a boycott of all rip-off petrol stations, i.e. Beckington, West Ashton Road Trow, Yarnbrook, Granada Services Warminster.
Cheapest I've found is Esso Warminster town centre. And a couple of Esso/Tesco stations in Bristol (bit far to go). It's generally cheaper in Chippenham as well.
Maybe there should be a thread of cheap stations, and another for rip-off merchants? ::)
Morrisons Chippenham is £127.9(tonight it was anyway), all others are at least a penny more a litre.

Make sure to scroll down for the international comparisons.
Also, make a mental note of which of the countries shown have no oil of their own and how much cheaper than petrol many of the diesel prices are.
As Borat said 'USA i support your war of terror', shocking how little they pay for fuel compared to the rest of the world.
I am suprised there is not more public anger generally.
Lots of innocent people are going to loose their jobs because of risks taken by the banks and the governments failure to regulate them.
The younger generations are having HUGE financial burdens put upon them. The cost of the bank bailout pails into insignificant compared with the state pensions and public sector pensions that we owe in future but have not saved for.
The demographic timebomb is hardly a surpise.
I am suprised it's all been quiet so far, but we all face big changes to our standards of living and I'm not sure realisation has dawned yet.
Apathy, a malaise that affects the British more than any other nation, like i said before if we were French we would be burning sheep.
I don't really understand it, but I was listening to the radio today and according to this so called expert, fueel could rise to £2 per litre if the troubles in Libya continues. If it reaches this predicted level I will have to sell the van and look at a career change. Summit that I can get about on a Honda C90 or the like. :'(
You could always run your van (assuming it's diesel) on veg oil. Some fuel pumps don't like it (Lucas?), but most are OK. You'll need to change the oil twice as often due to the water in veg oil, but it should save you a few quid, even running half veg and half diesel would save a bit with veg oil being between £0.98 - £1.30 a litre for shops' own brand. Depending on where I go, diesel is now between 135.9 and 142.9 in Newbury!
Obviously you'd have to declare that you were using biofuel to the robbing ass-munchers at HMRC and pay the relevent duty/protection money every month ;)
