LPG at all time high...

[Fletton]

Went to fill up yesterday (3rd Nov) was shocked to see LPG @ 0.999 per Ltr... That's almost double what I have paid since 2016 when system fitted!

All fuel costs are exceptionally high at present, still cheaper than using Calor though

Saw that price in France 3 years ago, our local Morrison is 63.7p l

Will be filling up today in Germany, slightly cheaper than the UK and rather than go 20 miles from when home there are a load more garages selling gas here.

Must admit I usually just fill up regardless of price, if I see a fill Point available and I need gas I fill

Filled up in zcrance 3½ weeks ago €0.90.
Going to have to fill up I. Spain or France in the next couple of days adound €0.80 in Spain. This time of year and we are on the edge of the Pyrenees so shouldn't be too much butane in the mix.

We have filled in spain in feb and had a cylinder of lpg that wont gas off on cold morning using the heater. This was when cylinder was down to 25% full.
Do they have a winter mix for lpg as they do diesel?

Edit, yes they do

I don’t think we need a winter mix in the UK because ours is all propane. I believe some countries mix butane in with propane. In cold weather the propane element continues to evaporate but the butane gets left behind and when there is only butane left it will only work in warmer conditions.

I got this from a an outdoors site explaining why mixed propane/butane canisters stop working in cold weather despite still having liquid gas in them. Different equipment but the principle is the same.
“Among these is the fact that the propane will burn off at a disproportionate rate in sub-freezing temperatures. As the remaining mixture shifts increasingly toward butane, less and less fuel vaporizes until eventually the canister pressure drops too low to continue feeding the stove. This means that a brand new fuel canister may work for a while in sub-freezing conditions, but can stop working long before the canister is empty.”

Yes, exactly what happened to us. In winter in spain it can be 65% propane 35% butane, so spend to long in a cold area and you will burn off the propane leaving the butane which wont gas off.
Figures for different countries are in link in post 7.

I missed the edit and the link. I was probably in full flow by then.

Mix varies for time of year & area, same with France, Portugal is like the UK 95% propane.

70p here in Stockport. I think Javea is €0.80

I use it in the a car, motorhome and now caravan, plus garden BBQ.

All are re-fillable and saving a fortune over calor. Even more on Unleaded Petrol.

As a full-timer... I do too..
I usually fill at a Morrisons if possible - but the local (Where I am at the moment) doesn't sell LPG..
My nearest is supplier is John Darke (Louth) - Who's LPG has always been priced well above other stations.
