Fuel prices

Had to make a no notice visit to Coventry yesterday as I was quite surprised to see branded petrol prices in Cirencester, Stow and Moreton cheaper than in Chippenham. That’s a complete reversal of a situation that has been stable for years. Even our supermarket prices are more expensive than the branded ones in Gloucestershire and Warwickshire. I’m sure that our prices reflect the fact that two large Esso forecourts are closed for extensive refurbishment and the competition has reduced.
Seperatly just north of Bourton a large building works is underway to construct what the sign says will be Europes largest charging station. On the Fosse no less……!!!

According to the RAC, the cost of charging an EV using public p.a.y.g. chargers has increased by 42% in the last four months.
The increasing cost of domestic electricity is said to be putting many new car owners off buying an EV.
Not wishing to drop into the EV " hole", all I can say is that the COL in Coventry is a bonus. Meal for four people, two courses and one round of drinks just over £50, plus Doombar was £3.20 a pint, whereas a country pub last week in South Wales was £3.75 and I thought that to be good price .Think we will all have to move back to the Midlands, as my wife and daughter were in Birmingham Saturday and Sunday and also found the city centre eateries cheap too. My wife in her pink fleece went down a storm at the Gay Pride events, but the Andrea Bocelli concert was more measured.
Yeah, not that I don't have £50k spare and everything I have just about pays the bills now with a bit left over for the odd weekend away

A pint of Doombar in my local, which is considered to be on the expensive side round here, is £2.80
We can't afford Brummie prices 😁

Crikey if that price is reflective of the COL we could move there and perhaps even afford another caravan
Just heard about that. Might be a good idea for me to fuel up now then before that happens.
That's really good. Lowest around here is £1.75.9 . I had to fill up with £90 worth, then do a 200 mile trip and then topped up that evening with another £40 I managed 43 mpg.
