I can never find old threads ..anyway .it was about my van running a lot better with fuel from local filling station than from ASDA , or was it my imagination , I can't remember how that one turned out ..so I called at local garage yesterday , put some diesel in , noticed on the big Gulf sign , diesel @ £ 127 /ltr . So far so good.
Went in & paid , came out , glanced at the pump dial which showed diesel at £145 / ltr Looked at the Gulf sign ..£127 . So in true Kerching style I marched back into the shop to remonstrate in no uncertain terms .
The Indian lady had been watching me doing the double take outside ...... " You come to complain about price yes ...but you must look at pump over this side is SUPER DIESEL ...pump other side is normal diesel which is £127/ ltr ...please not to be shouting at me "
Deflated I promised not to shout ...battled my way out through a thousand schoolkids piling in & slunk off into the sunset.
BUT quandry answered ...SUPER diesel , van drives like a car ...NORMAL diesel van drives like a van . However I won't be paying £145 /ltr from now on .
