      Dont think its that cheap around here, but to be honest I never really take in the price, I keep the tank topped up once a week and it costs what it costs, but I have noticed its less now than it was a few months ago.:smile:

      For us, Morrisons and Tescos are over the road from each other, so when I come to a roundabout, I turn left for Morrisons and right for Tescos, having had time to see their prices before I have to choose.

      Tesco: 109.9
      Morrisons: 110.9

      So I went to Tescos. Everyone else had too. I didn't even wait in the queue I just swung the car around and went to Morrisons over the road. As I pulled onto the their forecourt the price board changed, 108.9.

      Price war? Bring it on.

        Do you realise that if you had continued to go round the roundabout another six times the price may have been down to 104.9? :roflol:
