Charging around the going rate is hardly something to shout about, its generally how it works.

Come on the price of fuel is still way too high thanks to this government, the price should have been down to at least 60p per litre by now. People unit and fight.

The gulf garage in st blazey cornwall is 99.9 for diesel. Petrol is 102.9. Nice to see diesel cheaper.

Wow really? Went to the Oriental Touch and still didn't notice! It's usually expensive compared to ASDA so I don't even look. Thanks!

Noticed the Diesel in Chaddesley Corbett ( between Bromsgrove and Kidderminster ) was 99.7 pence yesterday, but petrol was 103.7. So diesel hunters in Worcestershire a bargain for you.

Still £1.08 around here (Tyne & Wear). Somebody's getting rich, & it ain't the general public.
Heat for the deal: good price if you can get it.

Yes - of course. Surely you know that already. :wink:
You don't get any part of a penny change as, like the vinegar, you don't buy it in multiples of complete litres.

Okay so go buy just 1 litre and how will u pay just exactly 99.7p?? They will round it up to 100p aka £1 yes/no?

In fairness, he aint wrong EveshamLad
Though for sake of argument, you can't buy just one litre - there is a minimum delivery

I'd also like to know the answer to this, purely out of curiosity. Whilst minimum usage does apply at most petrol stations, it doesn't defeat the question. Say you buy 3 litres at 99.7p p/l, that equates to £2.991. Would I pay £2.99 and receive an extra fraction of fuel (assuming I keep the nozzle in the tank long enough and manage to drain all of the fuel out of the hose after filling up) or would i pay £3.00 and be defrauded of a large percentage of my penny?

Lol - 1/1000th's of a penny's worth? It'll probably evaporate.

As I said in the answer you quoted, you cannot buy 1 litre - whether petrol or white vinegar.

23 Dec 15#36
Okay u cant buy 1 litre, but you can buy 11 liters on the dot if wanted? What then? Its just how can they advertise and display a price that you cant pay?
11 liters = £10.96.7 .... what happens with .7???

lol - whilst he is draining the hose!
it does remind me of a trick I used to do at uni when I was too tight to buy lighter fluid.
Went passed the local self service asda filling station on the way home with an empty light fluid can/bottle and drain all the dregs in the hose into it - diesel, petrol, super unleaded - it all worked. After four pumps I had a full bottle! saved myself £1 :-)
Now I just pay £1 a litre - as for the 1/10th of a pence... I go into the shop with my 1/10th of a pence dollar bills yo and make it rain - dem golddiggas be falling at my feet bro - plaaaaayaaaa

Think I can actually solve this as I have just had a conference call with the CEO of Shell.
He confessed that they have been rounding up, but not just on the 1/10th of the pence.
They have also been configuring the pump metres so that the counter counts the litre flow rate quicker than it is actually flowing.
Given that it is the season of giving, he said that they are going to reduce the price of petrol to round pence in the new year - at the expense of the oil companies.

It is the price per litre, just as this this white vinegar is 68.7p per litre.

(actually it's 68.661971830985915492957746478873ppl)

A good result for all I think.
Hope this is the result you all wanted
