Coming back from feeding the homeless in Cricklewood yesterday I had to take a different route due to general London road problems and spotted a garage with unleaded @ £1.35 & diesel @ £1.48.
Considering the average London price is £1.14/£1.20 give or take this made me almost drive into the rear of the practical 4x4 in front of me, however they did offer a cheap jetwash at £1
Has anyone else seen such unrealistic pricing in their area?

That's not far off the local one here tbh! They get a captive audience though, as we are about 10 miles from the next station (in town) and a lot of the old people won't drive that far. Petrol is in the £1.30s but didn't take note of the exact figure.

I can understand where there is no competition, but this is in London with a garage every 750 yards almost

Not seen any weird pricing down here for a while (excluding the falling-apart ones that don't seem to be open..), usually all about the same over Exeter.

If that's Cricklewood it wont be bad compared to the BP on the Vaxhaul Bridge Road or worse the Esso on Park Lane, Mayfair.

BP was 113.9 at my local. Not sure why it's going back up as the price per barrel is still rock bottom

yeah I noticed its starting to rise again! after a couple of months of it dropping, laugh is with it dropping, the Btcc had bigger grids. As the fuel is cheaper, hopefully it should stay in the lower side of 1.20, as it gets daft after that! I was putting about 60 quid plus in on half a tank! as I don't really let my tank drain.

Fortunately Sainsburys was only a couple of miles away, but annoyingly it was the same price as the BP and I would've got double points at BP as well. Was 1.17.9 for diesel.
