Finding LPG down south....impossible! - Page 2

FillLPG do a free Android app which means you've got a complete list with you which also shows recent prices. You can also get POI download for sat nav too. BP also have an app which is worth having.

Hi ... We live near Basingstoke and most of the Shell garages in this area have Autogas at 70p litre. We were in Exeter today and the Shell Garages along the 303 all have it.
Cheers

Northampton has several LPG stations, but one I visited had the screw on type and my jeep never seems to like that type and wouldn't dispense. The other LPG place in Northampton charges like 88p, needless to say I put enough in to get me home to my local morrisons

Im dahn sarf n'all
none on my usual local travels, nearest one a 20-mile round trip and almost motorway prices.
Is it any wonder that I drive a diesel

I'm based in Yorkshire and don't get down London much, have no problems refueling in the South West though, decent prices there too.

J22 of the M25 has a big Sainburys Saver center they sell Autogas at 67.9Ppl, this will now be my go to forecourt for my trips to London.

As far as I can tell, supermarkets dont seem to stock it, neither does Esso and as thats really the only choices we have down here we are buggered!!!

Would love to run on LPG but obviously it has drawbacks if you cant find any gas!

I live in Plymouth and must disagree with your comment, I have always had an LPG car and find no difficulty finding fuel for my car.

One station smack bang in the city centre, then Saltash roundabout , Ivybridge ermington, Newton abbott should I go on.

You can join the LPG club get daily price updates new garages opening and closing Post code addresses and garage phone numbers. You can also download a smart phone app and TOM TOM download that updates when you connect to computer.

So I have no problems when I travel throughout GB. I plan my route and the route map highlights points of interest's LPG STATIONS ON THAT ROUTE with detailed addresses.

TRY IT it really works. Every year they contact me provide me with a new joining fee for the year and if I pay I get access to the net Tom Tom downloads and a new map of all the stations in the UK and the prices of the fuel are always provided on their web site.

I drove from Margate to Holyhead via Reading last week and planned my LPG fills using
http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Main_Page
You can put in each motorway
eg
http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/M4
and then I clicked on Reading
http://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Reading
and then under forecourt I see its a BP site with LPG.
Clicking on the BP links gives a list of all their outlets, not all have LPG.
I cant vouch for how up to date the site it but.....

Using this I created my own set of POIs and uploaded them into the garmin
ps you can also search using the top right: eg Shell gives list of outlets.

The one caveat is that as some outlets only have one LPG pump there is a risk that it wont work: this happened to me at one in High Wycombe......
Likewise at the M56 stop at Chester at J 14, one of two was working: it was very busy so I queued for pump 17 first to find it was knackered, had to queue again for pump 18.
HTH

Just tried to post a suggestion on the website that goes with this App.

The rights it looks for are scary so I passed and uninstalled the App

Way above and beyond, I suppose at least they tell you

Your loss then. It's a brilliant little app.

I was in Devon yesterday and there are loads of stations down that way. I went to Flogas at Topsham, Shell on the A38 (by the big hill after Exeter) and Shell at Trago.
