or should it be 30.9?

I could resell it from my local garage and make a tidy profit at that
rate...

currently, local garage is 38.9, bulk in loads of ~1000l is about 32, here.

D'oh! I meant 30.9 ... just goes to show that a spool chicken is no
substitute for proof reading :-))

Remains at 26p yes 26p a litre at Lister Gas in Holloway bank, Wednesbury
West Mids. You have to pay a £100 deposit for a fuel card to get 24/7 access
to the pump but you can get it back whenever you hand in your fuel card. You
pay by DD once a fortnight.

I've never seen anything anywhere near as cheap.

RJO (happy on gas),

git... wish I could still get it at that price.

32 ppl in bulk here ATM, and no fat chance of it going down.

perhaps I should buy one of Robin D's sod-off tanks and go into the gas
retail business. Wonder what sort of price I could get for full-artic-sized
loads to this area?

Mind, I bet there are all manner of regulations to be conformed with...

I don't know about the mainland but there seems to be some sort of price
control (fixing) working in Ulster. I presume Calor are behind it. Every
garage charges the same. A letter to the DTI might be in order.

IMO, there's a lot of price fixing going on in Scotland, especially the
further North you travel! It all seems to be being controlled by Gleaner
Oils, suppliers to shell stations. We currently pay 39.9/ltr or 38.9/ltr if
there is another outlet fairly close! Gas went up in line with petrol
earlier this year as the recent "sandstorm" brewed up, but when petrol and
disiesel came down afterwards, gas didn't!!! I've tried to talk to Gleaner
about this pricing policy, but they refuse to enter into any discussions
with me.
When they opened the first of their gas pumps at Skiach services, Evanton,
one of their then employees stated publically that it was their long-term
intention to keep lpg at, or below, half the price of unleaded. When I
queried them about this statement earlier this year, I was told that the
statement was in fact, to keep lpg at least 30p/ltr below unleaded and that
as such I had nothing to whinge about! Seeing as they now have the contract
to supply lpg to all of Elgin's cop cars, I somehow doubt if they care at
all about joe public. I tried for 4 months to get them to give me a quote
for a tank at home and finally gave up after meeting their gas rep at the
Black-Isle showground. To say he knows little about his subject is an
understatement! Made promises to get in contact, guess what? he didn't!
My small, local filling station has been trying to get lpg in now for over a
year, but new brick walls seem to be appearing as soon as they sort out each
problem. Rumour has it that certain top-level players within Gleaner have an
(illegal?) input into the council!! I can understand them being scared,
though, what with their track record for customer satisfaction!

End of rant, Badger.
Phew, I feel better now.

I think you mean 40.9 p or something less than 60

There is a place near the Mersey selling at 29.9ppl, as is a place between
Mancheseter and Oldham on a main road

SG: Yeah, I corrected myself about 1 1/2 hours after the original post
