supRo Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 I paid 95.9p for optimax in Luton a few days ago! Try Tesco 99 if there is one near you, a bit cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Tesco is in Stevenage but its a little out the way for me. BP, thats usually more expensive, I seem to remember that to be near a £ a litre when i last filled up with it over a month ago, last optimax was only around 96p tho!

andrew7 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 If Tescos 99 is quality controlled to the same standard as the new digital tyre inflator I used a couple of weeks ago in their Bristol S/Market then I would worry big time. A week after doing my tyres i checked them with my digital gauges at home and they were reading 5 lb over pressure, so must have been 7-8 lb over pressure on the day. Thanks Tescos...........

I didn't know that people actually TRUST the readings of gauges in forecourts. Any monkey can drop it or run it over with their car, it's a public convenience isn't it? I'd only use them for providing pressurised air --- always verify with your own quality gauge. Good idea to have one in the car, and don't go for a cheap one either. You'll have consistent readings at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Yep just paid 99.9pence in Maidenhead this morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Gone up here too im afraid. 3 consecutive days 3 new prices 96.9 - 97 .9 - 98.9 and no doubt when i go back we will be at 99.9 Im going to use the texaco super unleaded they are giving out 2 p off a litre vouchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any monkey can drop it or run it over with their car, it's a public convenience isn't it? You'd have a job running over this one John, it's a friggin' great metal box stuck on the pavement!..... As for the " its a public convenience".. No its not, its a service they are supposedly providing you with, and as such should be to a certain standard.. Not to calibrate their gauges properly show a lack of concern for their customers... And sometimes you don't get time to check with your own gauge as there is someone waiting and then you forget by the time you get home......

JohnA Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 They usually have signs saying that the gauges are not calibrated - I've seen some off by 10psi!!! They could be all over the place. Would you *really* ever trust the readings from a gauge of unknown origin, knowing what a difference it can make in handling if a tyre is off by just a few psi? A digital gauge only costs £5-7 and you'll know that you'll have consistent readings at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I always check with my own gauge. Forecourts are nonsense and in terrible repair usually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben-san Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I usually opt for the cheaper Tesco 99, but that's gone up too in London to between 97-98 pence. Gits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew7 Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 ? A digital gauge only costs £5-7 and you'll know that you'll have consistent readings at least. Yes, I've got two of them............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix_TT Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Filled up with Optimax last night, was 98.9p. I have access to Tesco 99, but no idea what the price for this is. Any idea on why petrol prices have suddenly shot up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
