View Full Version : Why is LRP cheaper than Unleaded? Berberis 09-08-2005, 00:18 Why is LRP cheaper than Unleaded? Surely it costs more to add extra chemicals to the unleaded petrol to make it LRP? I think we are being diddled! Well more than normal! Strix 09-08-2005, 00:42 It's coz not many cars run on it, so demand is low - it's on 'sale' at the moment ;) Captain_Scarlet 09-08-2005, 06:53 Well I'm not complaining, Unleaded at 86.9p (NOT in a supermarket). I'm not telling where though :hihi: :hihi: metalman 09-08-2005, 06:58 Look back a few months and see what price it was - then you'll be complaining.

If demands are low, then prices should be higher in order for the business to survive, otherwise why provide the service? Anyway, it is cheaper because there is less tax impose on it by the government as it is greener that the other alternatives. DaBouncer 09-08-2005, 07:29 What's LRP?

That's what they use in the older engines now that the old four star isn't avaliable. 21steve 09-08-2005, 08:08 its great i use it. i remember during the petrol crisis in 2000 when people were going crazy trying to get petrol LRP was everywhere! it didnt even affect me Skatiechik 09-08-2005, 09:21 Originally posted by owdlad That's what they use in the older engines now that the old four star isn't avaliable. Actually you will find most people with older engines use Unleaded and an Additive. LRP is not very good for your engine.

Iit was a bit of a pain when traveling further away and pulling into 5 different petrol station when none which had 4 star or LRP!

I don't see what the problem is, put unleaded in it with an additive. :confused: Captain_Scarlet 11-08-2005, 16:43 Originally posted by Joelc So with the size of your car, it costs you.. about 86.9p to fill up :P Joel But Joel, the joke isn't funny, you don't have a car...
