Costco Chester / Ellesmere Port, diesel now down to 166.9. The petrol station half a mile away 188.9. Some difference!

Needless to say I filled up at Costco.

E10, £1.57 earlier this week, dropping to £1.54 yesterday, certainly not the lowest in town but not bad.

Old friend of ours lives in N Ireland, he often posts photos of fuel prices there, consistently 10 to 20p litre lower. I wonder why that is ?

My last diesel refill two weeks ago was 198.6p per litre. We are usually 10p more than mainland prices in Oban Tesco.

Just put £50 in , E5, £1.68 ltr
E10 currently £1.50 ltr so an extra 18p.
That equates to 40 miles ish less on £50s worth.

Interestingly, I have been running E10 while fuel prices were high, generally been getting 50/52mpg overall before the temps really dipped.
This last week on E5, only just managed 50 mpg but temps have been much lower.

Early on I was seriously sceptical that using E10 would only mean sacrificing a few mpg but my general impression now seems it makes a slight difference, but I haven't seen any great drop in mpg using E10 against E5.
