Help! Cheap lpg

#1 Post by Dippy »

I have read on here something about going to your local calor depot and filling up for cheap?

ie 40p and so on?

I live in birmingham and i have just had my car converted and my local garage is 56p?

So if i can get it for 40p i wouldnt mind! lol

Just want to know how or where i can find cheaper places in b'ham?

Advice please.

Cheapest I can get it for around me is 51.5p at present. It's still less than half the cost of unleaded and around 40% of diesel which Dave K likes.

For trips around I've got a sat nav and have downloaded the free info off this site: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/

It gives loads of options to choose from depending where you are in the country and your sat nav will take you straight there. You can even choose your direction, eg if you're heading north east there will be somewhere on route, so no trawling the back streets unless you want to. Cheapest I found in West Brom recently was 54.9p, not Brum I know but you should be able to do as well.

Best wishes.

One problem with LPG pricing is very simple .. some places quote with VAT , some without.. depending on their market ...

eg .. "Countrywide Farmers" .. who were originally (and probably still have most customers) purely for the farmers market quote without VAT as business use can claim that back ..likes of me can't.

My local Calor always quotes without VAT.

My local Shell quotes wih VAT as they target "normal" motorists

I make a point of asking "with or without VAT" when comparing .. it's not difficult to add 17.5 % when required :)

Well shell by me is 56p so not bad!



1st time filling up last night, it ended it being a bit scary gas everywhere and so on lmao long story!


How would i go about finding a farmer who does it cheap and is it really worth doing to save like 4p or something similar?

Also flogas depots are always a good bet. If you open an account with them and pay by direct debit the knock around 4p a litre off. I pay 48p at the moment
