Park Romsey, Winchester Road, Romsey, Hampshire. PARK AND SHOP
Just been checking my receipts from today and seen that I've paid 89.9p a litre for Diesel at the Park And Shop garage on Winchester Road,Romsey.
Not sure how long this is on for or if it's a mistake by the garage but not to be missed if you are passing by.

With 58p Duty, plus 20% Vat, even if the actual fuel was free you'd be paying 70p :disappointed:

This is the BP garage on the corner of Alma Road/The Hundred.
My car is petrol :disappointed: Nice local deal for some though!

Yes it was a BP garage. Friendly staff and cheap fuel is the way forward.

Board outside says same price as what I paid. Looks like someone has made a big mistake . Not seen same price at other BP garages.

They wont honour it at this price, they'll come out their booth within a hose and suck the diesel back out :smiley:

Living near there I'm guessing its a mistake - they meant to type 98 and typed 89... they do "cheap fuel" 2 days a week (more like standard price 2 days a week and 2p more expensive rest of the week) so probably put in wrong price yesterday. You got lucky :smiley:

Not a misprice, guys. Wholesale fuel prices have fallen dramatically and this is only a few miles from the refinery.
Expect others to follow.

Yup oil is so cheap now that the barrel they put it in costs more , theres been a 75% drop in oil prices in 2.5years but only 30% or so saving at the fuel pumps !

I read that on Reddit too.
They don't actually put it in barrels, as that would be a waste of volume. It is stored in tanks and tankers.

I believe the fuel duty of a fixed 58p per liter is a very unfair tax especially when it has the VAT added to it, it should be a on off percentage of the wholesale price and without the VAT. If the wholesale price as of today is about 15p per liter, that means we're paying nearly 500% in taxes with the cheapest retail price for nearly a decade of 90p per liter.

Why would I lie on what I paid for fuel. The receipt shows what I paid. Shared it so others could benefit.

Qualify your statement or go away in jerky movements.

Surely electric or hydrogen is the way forward?

How do you make the electricity ?
What do you make the batteries with ?
How do you create the hydrogen without Electrolysis ?
Ethanol would be a good power source that can be mass produced

Should be 50p a ltr by now
Mentos to theratedone
27 Jan 16#46
As per post 34, it will never be 50p. The lowest it can go is ~70p assuming the fuel is free (no one adds a penny between it coming out of the ground and you pouring it in your car/bike/can).

1) Even using the dirtiest grid electricity (coal), EVs still emit less CO2 than fossil-fuel cars. Source
2) The lithium in EV batteries is nearly infinitely recyclable. Source. EV batteries also have second lives as grid-connected energy storage (Tesla Powerwall)
I agree that hydrogen is a dead end though

I live in Romsey (small town in Hampshire) but I have a petrol car! Still, it's nice seeing my home town represented on this site.

Hydrogen is the most convenient as you can make it at home and you can go over 100 miles on a tank full and you are carrying less weight.

Highly flammable, must be compressed to 1000s of atmospheres, inefficient to produce, and leaks from any container. If you were to leave your car standing for a week or two while on holiday, there wouldn't be any H2 left on your return - and it's not like you can top it back up with a jerry can!

Don't be silly there are a lot of hydrogen powered cars running around with no problems, wish people would stick to facts instead of making things up to suite their argument/point of view.
