  • Another energy saving device..... 23 Jan 2010 (Forum)

  • Cheaper petrol 30 Sep 2006 (Forum)
    Shell garage on A417 near Fairford, Gloucestershire is down to 84.9 for unleaded and 90.9 for diesel. Seems nuts to put supermarket fuel in your tank when this Shell outlet can price match. Visit outside rush-hour when the queues have gone.
