truman Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's not always about price. Â You're forgetting that this is Sheffield Forum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walkley Dave Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Local garages like the one in the Hope Valley are not rip-offs IMHO and their prices do reflect cost and turnover. Â However small the supermarket margins on petrol this applies to other goods. Remarkably you will find that adjacent competitive stores (e.g. Chesterfield Sainsbury and Tesco; Archer Rd Sainsbury and Abbeydale Tesco) the prices are invariably identical. Â They will charge as much as the market will bear. It's called capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smithy266 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Sainsbury's Archer Road is always a few pennies cheaper that Sainsbury's Dronfield, yet only a few miles apart. Not complaining, just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonjon Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I always use BP in Wakey, 1p dearer than the Sainsbury's (which is always one of the cheapest), but the fuel seems to go much further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solihull Boy Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well obviously Supertramp I suggest that there is a difference between a profit margin, and charging the public what you think you can get away with !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatgranny Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 1p a litre only make a difference of approx. 60p a tank for the average car, less if you don't fill up or drive a supermini. IMO not worth making a special journey to save yourself that amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Agreed, when 60p buys you less than a litre of juice, even on an economical car it's less than 5 miles of travel. Â Probably under a mile in city driving conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc2001 Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 also A57 there are 3 garages within 3 miles of each other selling at the same price ? so seem to me that there is a lot of price fixing !!!!
