But how long can it last??

| 70.2 | but I drive a diesel | KERNEL::PETTET | Norm Pettet CSC Basingstoke | Wed Dec 07 1988 13:04 | 5 |
| I live just outside Petersfield and drive a diesel. At the moment
I pay 1.5 pounds for a gallon, how does this compare to either Tesco
or Sainsbury's price?
Just curious..Norm

| 70.3 | In sunny Swindon ... | FOOT::CLIFFE | Skating on the thin ice of Life | Wed Dec 07 1988 13:35 | 7 |

They have been having the same 'war' in Swindon for months
now with Gateway. Only problem is the promotions are for
petrol only, so us deisel drivers don't gain.

| 70.4 | 2*, unleaded but no diesel | LARVAE::BARKER | Do not fold, spindle or mutilate | Wed Dec 07 1988 13:51 | 10 |
| I don't think there are any diesel pumps on the forecourt. The price I
quoted in the base note was for 4*. There are both 2* and unleaded pumps &
presumably these are even cheaper then the 4*.
Before anyone asks. Yes I would like to use unleaded in my Volvo. The
garage tell me that I need a new head gasket. They will fit this for the
bargain price of �140+VAT. I guess I will just have to live with my guilt at
destroying childrens brains with my exhaust.

always give them a bell.

Wow! It seems like nearly two years away from home are starting
to show.
The gallons are slightly smaller here, but you can still get super
unleaded for less than a dollar a gallon (only just - $0.99c)

| 70.7 | Diesel is available at Sainsburys | LARVAE::BARKER | Do not fold, spindle or mutilate | Fri Dec 16 1988 10:06 | 10 |
| A quick update as I filled up at Sainsbury's yesterday.
4* is still 34.1p/l (�1.51745/gallon).
Unleaded is 33p/l (�1.4685/gallon)
Diesel is 32.9p/l (�1.46405/gallon)

| 70.8 | Petrol prices - An apology | LARVAE::BARKER | Do not fold, spindle or mutilate | Tue Jan 03 1989 14:14 | 19 |
| It has been kindly pointed out to me that I used the wrong calculation
for litres to gallons (I used 4.45 instead of 4.545). I have amended the prices
and rounded to the nearest � pence.
4* is still 34.1p/l (�1.55/gallon).
Unleaded is 33p/l (�1.50/gallon)
Diesel is 32.9p/l (�1.49�/gallon)
I gather from reading the 'Basingstoke Gazette' that this is the cheapest
petrol in the country & all the other garages in the area are bleating that
they are going broke as all their custom is being taken away.

PS I don't know how many people read this notes file or how many of those are
mathemeticians but only one of you spotted my deliberate mistake re
litres->gallons.

Thanks, I'm really grateful, I won't bother to highlight your spelling
mistakes in that case :-).
