29.9 is a damned good price. I assume this is Sheffield ?
Best I know of round here is 34.9

likewise shell. Mind you, they do tend to have places that are open at
silly hours of the day or night.

The place in Darnall (29.9p) is 24/7/365 - but it's a 1.5 mile detour,
mind, still worth it when sticking 100L in :)

Morrisons is a 200 yard detour when heading to the M1 for us, but not
open outside store hours.

They are selling what the market will stand. No-one forces you to buy from
them. Profiteering is making an excessive profit from people who can't buy
anywhere else. As your post shows, you are free to go elsewhere and get it
much cheaper. All that's needed is a bit of planning. If you are caught on
the A23/M23 and urgently need gas, you're paying for your own lack of
foresight. I've done it many times, but it doesn't make BP a criminal
outfit.

And by pushing up the price they are forcing you to think seriously
about your consumption - hence hopefully leading to a reduction in CO2
emissions. These people who offer cut price fuel are the real criminals
tempting you into diversions, running up extra miles and burning even
more fuel just to save a few pence.

Now, where did I leave my share certificates - oh yes here they are, in
the pocket of my flame suit.

There's a moral here guys - don't patronise BP.

Indeed. Another thing, which is odd, noticed from my fuel logs (yes,
I'm sad that way...)

From 'Totally Empty':
In a BP station I can get 98.35L in.
Almost everywhere else, I can only get a max 96.52L in.

Not overly scientific as it'll usually tick over very (very) slowly
for a while before I decide my arm can't stand any more* - but why the
2L difference?

Is this consistent across several different BP/other stations? I'd be
tempted to tell the local trading standards. Weights and Measures
infringements are taken seriously...

I only realised it was the BP stations (3 different ones) whilst
calculating the VAT and making sure I had all the till slips.
My fuel log now records which 'brand' of station, location and ppL
whereas before I only recorded the amount put in and total cost.

I'd be interested to see if this is actually a pattern on a broader
scale.

I once asked the guy at my local small independent gas outfit why I got more
gas in from them than I did at the petrol stations. He said that it was
because he'd got his pump coneccted to a 3-phase electricity supply (is that
right?) and that his pump was thus simply stronger.

Would that have been on April 1st by any chance?
Since the gas is delivered in (effectively - there will be some
vapour involved) liquid form then the temperature it is stored at
is going to be significant as it is being measured by volume.
Every liquid (except water, luckily*) becomes more dense the colder
it is.

You therefore need to refine your 'parking in the right place' and go
for somewhere that they can't see from the desk then! (thats how you
have to fill up metal jerry cans at some of the garages round here!).

You could make a new wooden block that fits inside the handle of the
pump and holds the trigger in?

LPG - has a sensible trigger lock, (just like petrol pumps used to
have when we were allowed to think for ourselves) - you control flow
by pressing a button on the pump.

I meant to say, it will potentially warm up a bit between the
two tanks.....
