A bargain compared to the price I saw at Cairn Lodge services on the M74 yesterday, as I drove past (something I like to do with motorway services - and KEEP driving past the miserable, overpriced, dirty, horrible places that they are!) who were selling unleaded at 152ppl, and a few pence more for diesel. Locally it has gone up 2p per litre in the last few days, now at 138ppl.. Haven't seen queues anywhere, nor closed forecourts, since day 2 of the "crisis".
I wonder how much Southwaite services are charging? For some reason they have always thought that a premium of about 20% is a fair mark up for their special brand of fuel. Nobbers. Far better pulling off the M6 at junction 42 and using the Golden Fleece (!!) petrol station just off the roundabout at the top of the slip road. Expect a lot of HGV's though, but they do have separate pumps for cars. There is also a Tesco petrol station just off the M6 at junction 43. If this post has cost Southwaite just one customer then I will sleep better at night, the robbing bar stewards.
