| Nope, you are not mad!
I must admit, after being at Death Park for the week on a training
course, i could not believe the cheap petrol prices all the way down
the Basingstoke Road.
Sadly, everywhere else charges more, and when you are "on the road",
and out earning money for this wonderful company, you haven't got time
to seek out the "hyper-save" outlets, and get stung for typical prices
of 55p or 56p per litre.
Still, i drive a Frontera, so unless petrol is 10p per gallon, i lose
out anyway, so what the heck!

Apart from an excellent new Tesco near Brent Cross (on the way home
from HHL) which has unleaded at 48.9!

| Tesco opened a garage in Beckenham 6 months ago and the price per
litre was 46 odd pence, the cheapest in the area, gradually they
increased their prices while the hypermarket they were building was
being finished. The price now stands at 50.9 pence, when you consider I
can get 60 litres in my cav that *was* a saving of nearly three squids
a tankfull!
If the Tesco in .3 is new you can expect it to rise shortly!!!
all the other garages in the area now charge the same rate...apart
from texaco they are about 55p!!!.

That's still cheap.
Petrol is at least 52.9 per litre for unleaded/diesel rising to 55.9

Hi,
Just a quick note anyone going down to Plymouth on the
A38 in the next few weeks and is a bit low on the old
juice turn off at the Moretonhampstead jnc. and turn
right, 500yds. is an Esso garage that sells a litre
for 42.7 p (not a misprint) , this is down to a large
shopping warehouse called Trago Mills selling the
stuff at its garage for the same amount, could
not believe it !!!!
Cheers
Mark

| I seem to remember that the Trego Mills garage doesn't take
credit/debit cards, so if you're going that way, take cash or those
paper thingies (with magnetic ink) you write on.

fortunately I don't (normally, at least) have sufficient privs on the host box
to do this, I think its owner is concerned that I may cause too much damage
otherwise!
