The Solent: petrol prices
We filled up at the fuel barge just above the chain ferry in Cowes. Yesterday I worked out it cost 125p/litre. This has cheesed me off.

What are other folk paying? Where is the cheapest?

yarmouth was £1.11, then it went up to £1.16 with all the stuff in the middle east and has now recently gone back done to £1.10, which surprised me somewhat!

£1.10 is significantly cheaper than Cowes then.
