Dick Turpin still at large on the A1M

Same issue as always of supply and demand.
My late father used to complain of the same in the 60’s about fuel and food at service stations but did accept that when a foot deep in snow on New Year’s Eve the fuel and cooked food were still the same price and better than a night on the hard shoulder..
 
They key is to not fill up all the way. Just put in enough fuel to get you where you need to be.

I have this problem every time we drive to Scotland and back. Unfortunately a Fiesta ST fuel tank is about 5 litres too small to make the 420 mile journey on one tank :(

I just chuck in 10 litres extra at a random service station, so as not to get majorly ripped off.

Likewise. :thumbsup: The more people that do the same then they may get the hint
 
makes me feel we need another fuel strike, bring back the blockade. problem is the government know we need it, the fuel companies know we need it, so what the hell, make us pay or dont drive........
 
I was caught out on the M6 on Sat and was stung for £1 48.9 pence per litre for V-power. Just put £10 in and the needle hardly moved :(
 
I think it's a bit like stealerships. Their prices are where they are as company car drivers just drop them in for work to be done through the lease firm. Same with the petrol stations - stop, fill up, put it on the fuel card as I don't care about the cost?!
Am I off the mark?
 
The sat nav can show you where the nearest petrol stations are and there is usually one just off the motorway charging considerably less.
