Default Cheap LPG A303/ A30 /M3

Scotsman on the scrounge again...

We live in the land of the 40p litre LPG (South Devon) and are off to London
soon travelling M5, A303, A30, M3 - anybody know of cheap LPG on our route
(something around the 29.9p I paid at Morrisons Cardiff would be nice :-))

I have not checked this out myself yet, but the big ASDA at Cribbs Causeway
in Bristol just before you leave the M5 for the M4 has a sign selling fuel
for 32p. I can't imagine this being red diesel so it must be LPG. (I can
only read the price from the M5, the letters for the fueltype are too small)
Otherwise there is the shell down the road there that does 34.something last time I
checked.

This is of course nowhere near the 303 .. but I do the trip to London every
week from Plymouth and the M4/M5 route is a lot faster. (Door to door in 3
hours and 10 minutes yesterday evening - Plymouth/N15 London)

Cheapest LPG I know in south Devon is the BP/Safeway one just of the A38 in
Plymouth for 37.9p

Hi L

There is a place called Andy's Gas directly opposite the Shell at Cribbs
Causeway - it's only open 9-5 but is usually 1p a litre cheaper than the
Shell place - it's easy to overshoot the entrance but it's handy for the M5

There is also a Sainsbury's near Tiverton just off the M5 - OK for cars but
no use for a trailer as access is tricky.

Thanks for your help

Graeme

I saw it, but I normally drive past late(r) at night so Andy's is always
closed.

I sometimes get LPG in Cullompton, also just off the M5. Nice guy called Sid
on an industrial estate, BP if I am not mistaken. There are also the Shell
(coming from Plymouth) on the 38 and the Jet (on the 380, slightly of
course ) in Kennford.


Thanks for your help

Graeme



Have you ever tried the one on the Lee Mill ind. estate just of the A38? ..
It was closed the two times I was there, looks like one that could be
cheaper then the BP's.

No - we head off down the A380 at Telegraph Hill towards Torquay and use

the Jet, there is a BP in Torquay itself and that's it for the whole of our
area :-(

I often fill at Tiverton Sainsbury's while towing a 5m caravan - no
problem getting atrailer in there.
Cheapest gas in the area is usually at Thorn Falcon, 2 miles from
Sainsbury's on the A358 towards the A303 at the top of the hill by the
traffic lights.
This is the one you can't get a trailer into easily, as you have to
reverse down beside the pump.
