It happens all the time unfortunately ... my local supermarket is 2p per litre dearer than anywhere else - I live about 15 miles from the nearest city (Oxford). Also, whenever Tesco (always Tesco!) runs a 5p off a litre deal if you spend over £50 on groceries always puts petrol up by 1p a litre the week before the deal. What really ticks me off is that if - like me - you live alone, it's so hard to spend that much in one go. And then I pay the dearer charge on petrol. It's so aggravating.
They're all in cahoots with each other - very rarely will you find a garage that is charging significantly less than others in the immediate vicinity.
Oh - and have those others in the UK noticed that dear old Gordon & Alistair are dropping VAT from 17.5% to 12% (or whatever) but when it comes to petrol they're just going to increase the excise duty paid on it, so motorists once again are being stung by the double-taxation petrol? Thanks, guys.
