petrol prices

now we all know that petrol is daylight robbery at mo but went on a little trip today to kent and noticed that it went down to as low as 101.99 when where i live it is 105.99 so this got me thinking in it cant be the petrol supplier cos surely it will be same in all their garages, i use shell.So is it down to the people who run said petrol station? i am lead to believe they are franchised out etc so can put just about wot price they want.

Wot can we do about it? would say just use the garages where it is cheaper but that i suppose is not possible cos all the garages in my local area are bout same crappy price.

Any ideas?

The cheapest round my way is a Shell, so I guess they choose their own margins :wink:

I paid £1.09.9 for diesel this afternoon…fuggin rip off:crying:

Thats wot i am saying m8, shell where i use is 105.99 and i saw another shell today that was 101.99.

went pass an asda just of the a13 and the price of unleaded was £1.01.9 and the shell garage i use all the time is up @ £1.05.9. i think its taking the P1SS

also is 220klms good for a tank (11 litres)on my gilera runner200 vxr???

About right, assuming you use the throttle as a switch, and you use it in town.

careful with asda petrol mate - when they refil the tank from the tankers they are meant to leave their petrol settle for x amount of time to allow for dirt and deposits to settle to the bottom. if they dont it can go into ure car/bike and possibly get dirt in the carb…had a major problem with this once. Not really a prob with new engines, but was with my old nsr.

aha same with tesco’s petrol!!! lil 125s dont like!!! lol havent put fuel in for like 3 days now so no idea wat the prices are but yeah u ever seen wat profit margins they (fuel companys) make?

Chunks PETROL mate Petrol in ya bikes jeez

I usually look around for cheeper as garage in village here is always 2 or 3 pence dearer dont sound much but over a month it adds up.
