Sometimes I recon we moan too much. Having just done nearly 2000 miles visiting relatives and sight seeing in England I've had to fill up several times. Sure you can find supermarket diesel at £1.36, but filling up at a motorway service station....£1.46, any old BP station in any old town was regularly about £1.40. Some of the posts on here seem to point to prices on the mainland being ridiculously low - i certainly never saw any fuel at less than £1.35 in two weeks!! Relatives talk of daily commutes to work in Bristol of 40 or 50 miles.... I rarely venture out of Lerwick and do a fraction of the miles they do and spend loads less on diesel over a month than they do. I came back wondering how the 'premium' we're paying can be so little given the extraordinary effort and cost it must take to move the relatively tiny amount of fuel up to us!!!
