petrol prices - Karen (30th May 2010 - 00:23:12) Just got back from Eastbourne where their Sainsburys petrol price was 113.99 for unleaded petrol !!! ( Needless to say we filled up ) How is it that the same shop can charge different prices for the same petrol ?

Re: petrol prices - Chris (1st Jun 2010 - 15:50:35) Hi Karen, I would also like to know the answer to this question as it is the same price at Sainsbury's Farlington where I filled up last week. However, when I put this question to the girls on the til, informing them that Liphook Sainsbury's were charging £121.9 the response was, "well you can afford it up there" !!. I understood that if a retailer was selling a product the price would be the same no matter which store you purchased it from.

Re: petrol prices - Neil (1st Jun 2010 - 16:50:58) if you go to shottermill is is £107.9, check local area www.whatgas.com [editor - that price was last updated on the 27th october 2009 - I'm not sure it can be trusted - www.petrolprices.com reports 120.3p as cheapest at Royal Parade, Hindhead]

Re: petrol prices - JS (1st Jun 2010 - 18:30:55) Just rung customer services,0800 636 262,they said they would look into it,if your not doing anything, get on the the phone,and have a moan,after all Sainsburys do not seem that popular at the moment in the village.

Re: petrol prices - B. (1st Jun 2010 - 20:13:59) The petrol price in Shottermill today was 122.9.

Re: petrol prices - Dawn (2nd Jun 2010 - 12:05:54) If you want to fill up and still get your nectar points.... I went to Forest Lodge (on the Bird World Road) and the BP station next to LMC was selling diesel at 120p. I didn't notice how much petrol was though. Sorry.

Re: petrol prices - Sudha (2nd Jun 2010 - 18:34:13) At Watchmoor Park Sainsburys,Camberley,petrol today is £119.99 per litre. Diesel £121.99...a noticeable difference in prices indeed!

Re: petrol prices - Karen (3rd Jun 2010 - 14:06:08) Just filled up in our Sainsburys(120.99 today unleaded) and asked why there is such a big difference in prices i.e Eastbourne and Liphook. The reply was "there is no competition " Looks as if they can charge what they like, within reason of course.!!

Re: petrol prices - B (4th Jun 2010 - 13:24:56) Only 119.9 in Jet in Bordon today (fri) just down the road from Tesco.

Re: petrol prices - sw (5th Jun 2010 - 09:20:10) Hi Bank Holiday Monday went to Morrisons (first visit) at Horndean: Diesel £116.9 Petrol £114.9 Plus a nice store too.

Re: petrol prices - jo herridge (5th Jun 2010 - 13:09:49) I am always in Portsmouth so fill up there most of the time. Sainsburys in Farlington today is 113.9 so 7p a litre difference.

Re: petrol prices - Karen (6th Jun 2010 - 15:11:31) Our Sainsburys now down to 118.99 .Come on we know you can get down to 113.99 lets see if you can do it .....We know you can...

Re: petrol prices - Tina (7th Jun 2010 - 18:05:05) Its also 113.9 unleaded and 116.9 diesel at Asda in Havant.

Re: petrol prices - Paul Robinson (7th Jun 2010 - 22:43:27) As I said on this site some time ago when this subject came up, the cheapest fuel I had noted was in Bolton where the Sainsburys was slap opposite a Tesco and each of them strove to be the cheapest. We in Liphook do not have any viable competition so we pay the price that Sainsburys feel they can get away with. The Tesco stores in Whitehill and Weyhill do not have a petrol station. What say we vote for a Tesco on the vacant site between Sainsbury's and the Beaver Estate and let market forces apply? Paul Robinson

Re: petrol prices - Karen (8th Jun 2010 - 12:17:19) Hear ,hear, a bit of competition never hurt anyone. I`m still waiting for your petrol prices to come down Sainsburys !!!!!
