Bleak mid-winter for motorists in Thornbury as fuel prices go up again - and again

We are already paying record fuel prices but it's going up yet again in the next few days - so keep an eye out for the cheapest place in Thornbury and let us all know!

Where's the cheapest place to buy fuel in Thornbury?

Today a planned Government fuel duty rise is putting 0.76p on the price of a litre of petrol and diesel. And on Tuesday - the day when VAT goes up to 20 per cent - pump prices will go up again.

The AA reckons the two increases will add around 3.5p to the cost of a litre of petrol and diesel. AA figures show a litre of petrol now costs an average of 123.98p, with diesel at 128.20p – this time last year petrol was 107.74p and diesel 109.46p.

I remember when they reached 110p and thinking "yikes"! Since then, recession, job worries and the economy have gotten so bad it's de-sensitised me to 123p+ for a litre.

It still makes me wince but it won't stop me driving for the simple reason that I have no choice but to drive. There is no reliable public transport for my route to work, when there was I used it. (the train) but now I live in Thornbury it would make my journey to/from work take up a huge part of my day :(
