They'll have needed to drop it a lot; The last price advice I received worked out to just under 61ppl inc. VAT.
Countrywide were never the cheapest (when I was filling up for 49.9ppl @ Asda in April, Countrywide were 47ppl plus VAT).
I only use them for the odd couple of gallons, just to get me to High Wycombe (where it's 49.9ppl @ Asda), or the Total station @ Towcester, where it's 47.9ppl).

Too true about Countrywide. My last advice came to just over 59ppl. Shame really because they have wide coverage with a handy key account and most pumps can be accessed 24 hours. Locks Garage on the Abergavenny road out of Hereford is the cheapest, now 49.9ppl. 45 litres to fill equals a saving of £4.50, so it's even worth travelling to.

Don't forget about the Flo-gas depot in Romsey (well, just outside, when travelling toward Winchester).
I filled up there a couple of weeks ago, for around 50.2ppl (or was it 50.3?).

Hilton Autogas (http://www.hiltonautogas.co.uk/)

39p/ltr

Cheapest ever.com

They are just off of J.1 M54

Countrywide Farmers seem to have dropped to 48.8p/ltr, which is their first ever drop in the 4 years I've been using them, but is still not good enough!!

That would be a valid argument if LPG had gone up by 25p since earlier this year (when the price of unleaded was last around 93p/litre).
And, of course, if LPG had started off this year at 29.9p/litre (which it didn't).

The price rise of LPG, at the local Total station, has been around 5 or 6p a litre (it peaked at 53.4p, and is now down to 47.9p - 2p a litre less than it was in March, and 3p a litre less than it was in April).

aha ...but... what was the price of LPG ..when petrol was last at 95p average

it was last at an average of 95 Pence a litre in July 07

at that time LPG was average of 43 pence a litre....

so to even things up again ..LPG needs to drop another say 5 pence per litre.

it would be nice to have the price gap of winter spring 06 when LPG was average of 36 pence per litre and pet was 95..........thats when we all managed real savings.........

hope that differential comes back one day.

Yup, 45.9p in High Wycombe (without the discount)......Or it would be, if the damn pumps worked; But as usual, they've packed up!

Oh, and someone needs to have a word with Sainsburys.....
a) They're about 18% more expensive than Asda (no big surprise there - Their food is expensive, so there's no reason why their fuel shouldn't also be a rip-off).
b) The main Sainsburys filling station, in Watford, is selling Autogas at 54.9p (even more than the BP station near Rickmansworth :shock: ), yet the Sainsburys Local (on the same roundabout) is selling at 52.9p :?: :?:

Don't worry, that problem may not last long anyway. Somewhere else on this forum (bit pushed for time at the mo so can't go looking for it) I posted about my local Sainsbury's refurbishing their petrol station (new underground tanks, new car wash and a few other things) but no mention of installing an LPG pump (it'd never had one before but I was hoping they'd take the opportunity to fit one now).

Contacted head office and spoke to the top-bod who deals with the petrol station side of things, only to be told that they are doing away with LPG from all of their forecourts - no particular timescale but it will be done.

He said that (a) they always had terrible trouble getting supplies of LPG, and (b) they didn't move enough of it to be viable. When I said that (a) might have a direct bearing on (b) (if people keep seeing empty pumps, of course they'll go elsewhere) and could they not just change suppliers/try harder, he just wasn't interested.

That is odd. I admit they are not the cheapest although they now charge me 37p +VAT which works out to around 45p a litre (I think it's actually gone cheaper again). That's cheaper than almost everyone near me (Flogas in Coventry charge 46p last time I checked, and whilst from Starcity it is 41p a litre, that's 30 miles each way away from me.

However, I am a regular customer (the car does around 80,000 miles a year) which may be an influencing factor in my rate.

Repeat post of mine from a thread in General forum

Morrisons Barry, last count, 49.9p
Cardiff Gas, Moors Rd, Sully, Unknown
Cardiff Gas, Abercynon (PRE PAY ONLY), 44p - £100 pre-pay / 46p below £100

Cardiff Gate services M4 J30, 46.9p
Asda Pentwyn (behind Cardiff gate) 44.9p
(Asda - press and hold button for ages pump eventually begins to work quietly, so long that you will think it is broken but persevere and eventually it will come through. Might be able to save 2p/litre with Asda credit card)

A40/A449 services (Little Chef) (Just south of Monmouth, just North of Raglan 49.9p North Bound ONLY I think (I'll update on Jan 7th)

Have you bought at that price recently or just read the website? It could be an old website not updated. If it's true, it certainly is cheap, and shows that we are being Royally ripped off by a lot of vendors.
