what a lot of people dont realise is that despite the lower pump price supermarket fuel is actually a LOT MORE EXPENSIVE than branded fuel from a proper forecourt like Texaco , BP , esso , Shell etc , the supermaket fuel does not contain the additives that protect your engine and make it run smoothly and economically , tests have shown that miles per gallon is only about 65 % for supermaket fuels compared to branded fuel so for example if you got 30 miles to the gallon from a branded fuel the same from a supermarket will only get you 19.5 miles to the gallon !!! shocking i know but dont take my word for it do your own checks and save yourself a lot of money and time - i have

All well and good but playing right in to the hands of the goverment, as we will all see in August when the fuel duty gets increased....................again !

Personally I would like to see the Weights and Measures people (Customs I believe) out there publishing which petrol stations they have been to that have passed and those that have failed....anyone else been in that situation where you feel you get more from one pump than another?????

Was it me or did I read "slashing"??? Cutting is OK but slashing 3p is not what I call slashing, think I'd have to go at least 10p before I even entertained the word slashing.....and as we all know it's not enough, not nearly enough...perhaps the supermarkets (tesco springs to mind) might like to get their supermarkets to charge the same price in the same areas, we have 3 tescos within a 20 miles radius who all charge different rates, oddly the one farthest away...if you want to argue distance from a refinery is the cheapest, the one in the middle is the most expensive.....go figure

Thing is we are really "Rip Off Britain". My experience in Germany is that you can live to a much higher standard for a lot less. As well as diesel Wine and beer are half of what we pay. Groceries are cheaper. Admittedly clothing can be more expensive but you can't eat or drink those!

I will lay odds my local Tesco's don't rush to drop theirs, robbing gets

I remember when I was young!

I'm not any more, get over it, prices are going up. Rose tinted spectacles fix nothing. Oil companies see dwindling resources and a bleak future, so milk you while they can

In boulogne last week and only paid £1.09 for a litre of diesel at Auchan supermarket filling station,so we are still getting ripped off,even though the price is coming down,and I always seem to get more miles out of a tankfull of french diesel than U.K. diesel,wonder if we also get a different quality?

I can remember when we were up in arms at the cheaper new chargers per litre two or three years ago. Now after prices have risen astronomically, we think we are getting it cheap now at E129.7 per litre. We have been quite brainwashed. Especially as when the price per barrel has gone down before they have not passed this on to the motorist and just kept putting the price up. This certainly is rip off Britain.
