Petrol prices rise - in the blink of an eye...

Petrol went up in price again this week. The media would have us believe that it has risen 1p a litre in the past 2 weeks, but I’m not so sure.

I have been aware of a new, surreptitious way in which the petrol industry has been managing to eke out a few extra shekels from the motorists pocket, and 9 times out of 10 most of us either ignore it or just shrug our shoulders and pay up.

Why is it that over the past few months I have been the victim of what I can only term a ‘pump surcharge’. It seems that nearly every time I place the fuel nozzle back on the pump an extra 1p is added to my bill. Regardless of where, how much and the method I use to fill up, this phantom 1p seems to appear from nowhere.

There are around 8700 petrol stations in the UK. If you work out that every time someone fills up, an extra 1p, or ‘pump surcharge’, is added to the bill, this could add up to tidy amount of cash for the big players.

A quick scour of Google reveals I am not alone –thousands of other similar minded people are swapping experiences and theories...[full article]22/01/12

Used Car Roadshow The Used Car Roadshow is the only TV motoring show dedicated to the used car market and helping real buyers and sellers of used cars. Initially screened on the 'Men & Motors' satellite TV channel, the show quickly gathered an enthusiastic following. A transfer to ITV soon made the programme one of the most popular motoring shows on UK satellite and Freeview television, resulting in three series that saw the presenters travel the length and breadth of the UK in their quest to bring people the best from the much neglected used car sector of motoring. Hosted by Jason Dawe and Penny Mallory, the show aims to help you choose your next used car purchase. From selling your existing car, through to negotiation and securing the deal, you can be sure that there is something for everyone on every show. Whether you are an out and out petrol head or a first time car buyer, we believe that we can make sure you get the best deal possible, but have fun along the way! In the 'Auction Fever' segment of the show, Zoe Hardman takes a trip to a car auction, hoping to dispel some of the mystique surrounding them and at the same time help a viewer buy their next car. 'Teenage Kicks' shows Jason waxing lyrical about a car he lusted after in his youth and perhaps now he can consider buying - from Sierra's to Audi Quattro's, there is always something here to tempt his wallet.
