LPG price is up

[PJGWiltshire]

Passed Morrisons Littlehampton yesterday LPG shown at 57.9. Turned up this afternoon 2.30pm to fill a tank to see now priced is at 62.9 on main price board outside petrol station Blast I say, well a word like that. Fill up tank and whilst standing holding the button notice that the price on the pump still at 57.9. Big smile on face now. Off to pay and lady confirms price at 57.9 but was about to change pump price after I had filled up. I hope you were not the Motorhome just pulling up behind me and if you were hope you got it at 57.9

We're nowhere near you and the most we fill up with is about 15 litres so 65p difference but it's nice to see someone as tight as me!

still a 5p increase. God knows how much a non refillable bottle is going to cost now. Thank goodness for gas low

Going to top mine up tomorrow, before heading south (France) this weekend……although I doubt I’ll get more than a few quids worth in.

It's seems a 13kg calor bottle exchange price is now £45+
It was 0.89 cents at Intermarche today

Surely that's blatant profiteering if true?

I did not know the price in Spain so filled up today. So now sitting to board to Bilbao not having to guess if I should have filled or not?

I had the same experience today as the OP but a Shell garage. Cheaper on the pump by quite a few pence per litre. I didnt notice but wife did.

About 67p a litre on Skye yesterday. I would prefer they put up the price so it remained attractive them to keep the pump.

I paid £11.93 for 20.6 litres @ 57.9. So it sounds cheaper in Uk than Spain or France.

Check it out your self if you don't believe me

Portsmouth to Caen this weekend, no idea after that as we’ve got three weeks to work that out……...heading south, probably in some sort of zigzag pattern. May cross into Spain, but who knows.

 

[RowleyBirkinQC]

We filled up this evening at a Moto service station, the most locally convenient option for us at circa 8 miles away. The downside being Moto service station pricing at 73.9 per litre.

Was thinking of the same route but as I had a return Spain crossing on account decided to go straight to Spain, drift around for a few weeks then head up the med side to Switzerland for mid/late October to see the colour change then home for mid November, third jab on the tunnel then back to Spain till March on remaining crossing then head back whichever routes best value. Its just great to be back on the road over the water.

Yes but he was comparing the calor cylinder price with the spanish cylinder price not pump fill per litre of gas.

I always use Morrisons at Littlehampton a lot cheaper than the BP garage which is a bit nearer that was 74p. Pump at Morrisons is really easy to access for a Motorhome.
Filled up in France last week 90 cents.

Asda in Kirkcaldy is 10p per litre cheaper than Morrisons, albeit 4 miles further to the far side of town. 57.2p v 67.2p, but we shop at Asda anyway, and the extra mileage helps to get the Van engine warmed up thoroughly.

Using my VW Tig as a proxy, the oil temperature monitor has just kicked in when we reached Morrisons, showing 51 degrees in Autumn; by the time we reach Asda, the oil temperature is showing around 87 degrees, and the return leg gets it to around 94 degrees.

70p Stockport Junction 1 / 27

 

[Bobby-gg]

Still 59.9 pence litre at my local Shell

 

[BusyBuilder]

75p up here or 89p if you're at Tore near Inverness

 

[EuroTrotters]

A friend just told me 99p in Portsmouth

 

[cyberyacht]

That's jumped up. It was 69p back in May and then about 7p cheaper than BP at Sholing.

Prices here in Cheshire vary

I filled up and paid 79 pence per ltr for LPG a couple of weeks ago at the Camel Hill Texaco Garage on the A303, while travelling down to Taunton way.
To be honest, anything under £1 per Ltr is still good value compared with refillables, although I do feel a little embarrassed to only need a fivers worth at times, as unless others use it more than I do, I cant see it being viable in the future, and the independents may go down the same route as Shell has in replacing LPG for E Charging Stations.
One other LPG place we use down the A417/9 is a co op garage, drove off the main road, queued up for the LPG pump, which is located beside the other fuel pumps, only to find it was out of order. The Girl on the check out said they had run out of LPG and their supplier didn't know when the would be able to deliver more.
You guys up north, with Morrisons & Aldi's selling LPG are so lucky, as I think the only one I know of down south is Littlehampton, and that's miles away and not on our usual trips out.
