Shell garage on the A1 near Peterborough 81.9p per litre. Jet garage in Mexborough, South Yorks, 68.9p litre.

How come?

The Shell garage on the A52 in Derby was alway's same price or 1p cheaper than Asda, so I alway's used them. They are now nearly 10p more. Guess where I spend my money now!

I'm glad to see I'm not alone in thinking Shell are taking the Mickey with their prices this winter.

I appreciate the fact that Shell cover a lot of major routes throughout the country and drivers will be prepared to pay a higher price for the convenience this offers. However, I feel they are now engaged in a level of profiteering that is simply insulting to their customers. I, for one, go out of my way to avoid these pirates and I won't be going back, even if their prices return to a sensible level in the spring.

I like MDE's suggestion of posting the cheapest LPG stations, with so much variation in price at the moment. Maybe worth starting a new thread if there's enough interest - what do you think?

Doesn't everyone use petrolprices.com to keep up with prices?

Unfortunately a lot of the cheapest LPG suppliers don't feature on petrolprices.com.

Matt had a letter from Flogas telling him that the prices of lpg to the garage would be going up by 12p/litre from 11th January. Not looking good.
