In The Lead For Greed (the continuing story) - 28 January 2017

Fuel prices are, in fact, much lower than in 2012 but they are currently rising again. For all the ups and downs, one thing which does not change is the extraordinary amount by which motorway prices exceed those in and around towns. On the date of this photograph, BP's own town prices for diesel were around 121.9 - 123.9 and a major supermarket wanted only 117.7 - 118.7 (at two different sites). A price of 135.9, then, is pretty well inexplicable except in terms of greed.
