I couldn't believe it when when I saw 70p a litre in Norwich (and it wasn't as if the competition was across the road, nearest other station I saw ASDA about 2 miles away, but didn't see the price), after I had paid 79p in Warrington. And then when I had got back to Warrington, I discovered that it was only 73p and had dropped 6p in the weekend I was away. I always use Sainsburys too. The Estelle used LRP, and Sainsburys seemed to be the best bang for buck, ASDA was very poor, and it really didn't like it, Shell just sent through like water, Total gave better performance, but cost more, and Esso was average, but cost more. Sainsburys worked well. In the Fav, Esso works OK, and Sainsbury again gives best for the money, and again, it really hates Asda. And the points come in useful too. Got most of my Xmas booze that way :) -- Carl Robson http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
