Petrol prices have shot up again!

Gone up 3ppl at my local Sainsbury's but they haven loads of competition, Morrisons and 2 private garages close by, keeps the price down for certain.
Two other Sainsbury's that are with about 8 miles of my local one are at least 7ppl more expensive and guess what no completion close by, pure profiteering clear as day

What I can never understand is why there are often huge differences in prices at garages only a few miles apart. :?
I was staying with a friend in Cheshire for a couple of days after Zedfest and I used the Applegreen garage in Frodsham on Sunday as it's always the cheapest around and their Regular fuel was £1.489 (although I put their E5 in my Z). The Shell in Halton was £1.509!
Then on Monday we went over the bridge to Widnes and Morrisons Regular was £1.387 with Tesco at £1.389.
It just doesn't seem to make sense to me. :?
It wouldn't have helped me much though as I would have had to pay the charge for the bridge.

Paignton? Has the price of hay or steam gone up perhaps?
Mmm strange. Plus we seem to be missing the forums village idiot these days, not turned up there have they?
