Do my eyes deceive me?
by hipo1024 on Wed Aug 19, 2015 3:09 pm
The last few days I've noticed that diesel is actually cheaper than petrol, or at least the same price. I've seen diesel upto 2p cheaper! Never thought I'd see a flock of flying pigs but my God I think I just did!

Its been like that around here for a few weeks now. Makes sense really, diesel being a by product of petrol and all....
Rule #3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check

Bedford is 108.9 for diesel, and 114.9 for petrol. Gutted as before I went away it was almost the over way round and I filled up the Diesel before going away and not the V6 as I thought the pricentre would go up whilst I was away.
