Basingstoke Morrisons Petrol Station (recently made a Morrisons Daily Franchise) is advertising 6kg refills at £41.75. I swapped a bottle at a small local hardware store for £29.75 about 6 weeks ago. I would have thought/hoped Morrisons would be at least competitive - if not cheaper than a small local store. It looks like its going to be an expensive Rally Season when using Gas if that's the way gas prices are going.
Calor Gas Bottle Pricing - Phew!!

- Still dropping clangers and making it up as I go along
My mistake was not getting gaslow refillables sooner.
Have thought of this, but not too easy to find a refill operation in the Basingstoke Area. Anyone know of one without travelling many miles just to 'top up'?

Another vote on safefill, even if you have one to use side by side with a calor. Last fill on my 10kg bottles for 19ltr of gas was under £14.

I seem to remember Morrisons fuel stations being taken over or similar last year and the pumped LPG went up from under £1/litre to £1.30/litre across ALL Morrisons stations overnight.
We've had Gaslow for 8 years and they've certainly paid for themselves. Last time I bought 6kg propane at Morrisons, it was about £23 for a refill.
Conversely the 47kg bottles (94litres) are still good value at £75. We use one bottle a year for the gas cooker at home.

Gasit, Gaslow, Alugas (which we have) are an immense saving over pre filled bottles, especially abroad where the price is appreciably cheaper than the U.K. I calculate around 40/50% cheaper.

That's what we had until we finished the Calor Lite we had and replaced with another 19ltr Safefill.
Do you never overnight anywhere more than 20 - 30 miles from Basingstoke?
Why do you need a refill station close to Basingstoke?
We fill up whenever the need arises wherever we happen to be; we’re not tied to area near where we live for fill ups.

According to mylpg.eu there's nothing right on your doorstep.
Nearest one is probably the one in Sutton Scotney or possibly Fleet Services.
I'm lucky that I have one a mile from me so I tend to top up before I head out on a long trip but otherwise as bigtwin suggested I'd just look for the nearest one in the general direction you're heading out in and stop there.
There are various apps and websites that list and rank LPG fill ups.

Just load the my LPG app.
Review before every long journey and fill when you need some!
No longer need to wait until empty!
Simples!

Not to mention so much less hassleGasit, Gaslow, Alugas (which we have) are an immense saving over pre filled bottles, especially abroad where the price is appreciably cheaper than the U.K. I calculate around 40/50% cheaper.

I'm afraid the answer is no - we travel the South of England to vintage rallies with my ageing tractor spending 3-5 days in a field during the Summer period. So Gas most of the time for cooking, and cooling. Our total average is 700 miles p.a. So although we are not big users (probably 3 bottles p.a.) it hurts when you have to buy a bottle at such prices!
Yes - that's the thing that takes a bit of getting used to if you've used non-refillables for a while!

The station identified by fishplug below is a mere 20 minutes drive south west of Basingstoke, and the other station east of you is a similar distance, neither being very far from you at all.
