For the last week or so:

ASDA / Sainsburys 121.9
Texaco / Shell around the borough 122.9 / 123.9
Texaco Leigh Rd 126.9

Today, all have increased by 3p due to the VAT

EXCEPT Texaco Leigh Rd which is still 126.9

Seems to me that they are taking the



I would hope all Leythers spot the daylight robbery and boycott that filling station. I pass daily and they regularly add a penny or two then drop a penny then up again when all others remain stable.

Maybe the club could get a sponsorship type thing based on Leythers using one station ? A few hundred cars spending £10 + per week must be an attractive target for a company.
I spend £20 per working week = just short of £1000 per year.
If another couple of hundred do the same surely it would be an attractive proposition to a petrol station to sponsor Leigh Centurions on a percentage basis on production of a season ticket / LISA card etc.

Maybe a job for our marketing department - if so who can I forwrd the idea to?

We need decent politicians like Gary Chadwick, BNP, then we wouldn't be in this situation

I believe the phrase that young 'uns would use in this situation is LOL.

I will do the same, at least Dick Turpin had a mask

This has to be someone taking the , or do people really believe this kind of ?

Each to their own my friend, i do believe everybody is entitled to their opinion

Indeed. Democracy is wasted on some sadly.

I wouldn't use the Texaco garage if I lived next door, it's always been a rip off. I've no idea how they get away with it to be honest, or why anyone would go when Asda and Sainbury's are around the corner.

The one on the East Lancs near the Toby Carvery is just as bad to be honest.

Must be something about Texaco garages because the one in Carlisle is the dearest in the city.

Bet you voted for war though, my hands havent got blood on them............. we'd save £4.5 Billion a year if we where not their, sure this would go some way to putting the petrol prices down

Germany 1939, sometimes opinions are wrong.

Petrol is cheaper at Wigan Asda than it is at Leyth, despite there being far less local competition. Weird.

You usually find that the more affluent an area the higher the petrol price.

Yep thats a given. But as I do not drive and slightly off topic I wonder why free range large eggs are so expensive at Tescos.

It makes you think what are they feeding the hens on doesn't it ?

The garage on Leigh road added 2p on fuel at 10.30pm on new years eve well before any other garage.
Fuel has risen from about 95p ( diesel ) in 2007 a litre to todays ave £1.32.
Funny thats a rise of 12p per litre before the general election when:

By Robert Winnett, Deputy Political Editor 11:07AM BST 12 Apr 2010
David Cameron will propose temporarily cutting fuel duty to protect motorists from the impact of rising oil prices.

The move would be funded from the increased taxes the Government raises from other levies on oil companies when wholesale prices rise.

During the past few weeks, the cost of petrol has risen to a record high, averaging £1.20 a litre. This has been caused by the cost of a barrel of oil rising to $85 (£55) and the pound falling against the dollar.

Alistair Darling, the Chancellor, recently decided to push ahead with above-inflation increases in fuel duty. Duty will rise by 3p per litre over the next year.

The “fuel duty stabiliser” is the latest Conservative tax policy designed to help hard-pressed families.

So for all the people that voted for the Tories and Lib Dems yet another manifesto lie .

We had fuel protests then so why are we putting up with it now ?

2011 Fuel Tax Figures
A 0.76p increase on the 1st January 2011 brought the duty rate for the main road fuels up to 58.95p per litre. This coincided with the 2.5% increase in VAT rate, which is now at record high of 20%

Oh by the way. Duty on fuel goes up again in April.

This email is doing the rounds again seems a good idea to me although I’d say boycott all the major companies.

The Watcher knows that if HMRC did not get the money from petrol tax then it would get it from somewhere else. The Government requires X amount of £`s to run the country, that figure will not alter if petrol tax is reduced. It will be time to worry when petrol becomes the same price as lager per gallon.

With inflation rising rapidly and economic growth in reverse the next step is a rise in interest rate to make the rich richer.

Something must be done to protect the working class people that drive this country.
Immigration is bleeding this country dry and none of the political parties have the bottle to address it.









Fuel will be £1.50 a gallon to compensate for the above before the summer.

The Watcher for one hopes it is £1:50 a gallon in summer.

Curb immigration and petrol prices will plummet ?


Surprised thats not been tried before.

Not often I'll agree with our 3rd person poster , but he is right , if we all bought electric cars tomorrow , they would put up road tax to £ 1,500 the day after , they need the same amount of money to run the country

If we all fitted windmills and solar panels overnight , they would have to find another way to bring in all the tax they get from the sale of Electricity

That's just the way it is
