    The great petrol con!

    A local Texico petrol station has been increasing the price of diesel even though others have been reducing it.

    When the 1p reduction came into force, this petrol station did not reduce the price & about a week later put UP the price to by 1p to ?1.38.9

    Today I noticed that the price has again been raised and is now ?1.43.9
    Local Tesco & Morrisons are selling at ?1.37.9 and about 6miles outside of town a Shell garage is selling at ?1.36.9.

    As a taxi business, we are unable to pass on this extrra cost to our customers & to be honest its getting to the point that its not worth for some peeps to come to work.

    God help us if it continues to go up, up & away.
    SLOWLY, OUR FREEDOM IS BEING ERASED.
    SOON, WE WILL JUST BE A NUMBER.
    IF WE DON'T FOLLOW, WE WILL BE ERASED.

          go lpg,55p plus vat per litre, bought 406 estate at weekend, 2003 model, high spec, leather, in built sat nav, well all the trimmings, good nick, low mileage, ?1300, it will pay for itself in a year for me, if you do taxi work, conversion at less than a grand will save you money.

            Bring on the Hydrogen Fuels, the whole "crude shortage" is a perpetuated myth. How can third world countries run on sugar besides other alternatives yet we as one of the more "developed" countries in the world still muddle along relying on BP and the arabs.
            Though with the taxes can't really see much of a difference.
            To OP buy a diesel and fill it at your local kebab shop.

                Wonder if he still has a job.??
                If it was a manager he probably got a huge bonus.
