    Petrol Prices...

    ...Ok chaps, this morning at Knutsford Services, 126.9p per litre for "normal" unleaded!

    Anybody pay more, like for like recently?

    I'm paying 168CHF = £1.03 per litre. With the exchange rate of two years ago, it would have been about 80p. So I wonder if the high price is due to currency exchange rates?
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

      Not paid that much, but will avoid Knutsford in future!
      I'm sure the last time petrol prices were this high, there was a national outcry. Why is everyone so quiet about it this time?
      My weekly commute is costing me about £110 a week in petrol - but then I do have a silly car
      I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

        Yep, paid £1.30 in Munich yesterday....given the exchange rate, £1.269 is feckin criminal!

        I'm driving back to the UK on Friday, looking at £200 for petrol to get to Oxford.

        That and £70 for the tunnel (bit cheaper because it's at silly O'clock)

        Hmm...so to drive here and back has cost about £500 and 1500 miles of wear and tear / depreciation and 2 days.

        I'm flying next time and just paying for an extra bag or two!

          It's cheaper to fill up at one of the supermarket petrol stations at around 115p.

                    Two types of people. Those about to run out of petrol on the motorway and those that aren't.

                    The latter don't pay that much. It's criminal but avoidable IMO.
