VED is peanuts compared to the purchase other running costs, and cheap petrols are plentiful. Where is "Round Here"? be nice for some locations so to avoid the dearest areas .... ;o) I was under the impression that Morrisons price drop was UK wide !! - perhaps only in the cities, yes ???

How come? It should be around 1.50, no? I was surprised when zig-zagging down the hill from Bormio, seeing a Q8 garage with 1.00 on the sign. When I got closer I could see there was a smaller euro sign. According to Autoroute, they have 11 petrol stations for a town with a population of 5200. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Livigno "Livigno enjoys a special tax status as duty-free area. Italian VAT (Value Added Tax) is not paid. Although tax advantages for Livigno were recorded as far back as the sixteenth century, the current tax exemption was first introduced by the Austrian Empire around 1840. It was then confirmed by the Kingdom of Italy around 1910, then by the Italian Republic and the European Economic Community in 1960. Although no VAT is paid, income taxes are, thus Livigno cannot be considered as a tax haven." Unsurprisingly, there was a lot of building work being done there as they have thriving winter & summer sports tourism.

My guess is this is only temporary respite in the long term upward trend of fuel prices. $200/barrel for oil by next year is very likely :-( > Filled the tank at Morrisons Bristol road. Brum.

WTF > - > > Commented on the price difference and received a dumb stare !! It's always been so. Locally, Waitrose have just cut their price to £1.139 which will be matched by Esso. The Shell on the A40 at Crickhowell will undercut them by 1p. Travel into England, towards Hereford, and the price increase by anything up to 5p a litre as the price there seems to be dictated by Tesco.

It's very odd around here. Retford, which has 5 petrol stations (Incl. morrisons), is currently 1.13. Ollerton, 5 miles away. and 1/4 the size, has 4 petrol stations (incl. Tesco) is 1.19. Newark, OTOH, is bigger than Retford, has only 2 petrol stations (incl. Waitrose) and is, and always has been, the most expansive place I know for petrol.
