Same here in East Sussex - our local BP at Golden Cross near Hailsham shot up from .99 to 129.9 over night. The other local Asda LPG is showing .82 but it has been unavailable since last winter and they have no idea if they will restock it. I also understand there are going to be over 400 MFG owned fuel stations that will stop selling LPG from the end of 2024....this is to make way for EV charging points

The vast majority of MFG’s 400 forecourts never sold LPG anyway so they can’t stop selling it. MFG was never a big player in LPG forecourt sales.

Well I guess we will be loosing our one in Golden Cross as it is owned by MFG so the nearest will be 25 odd miles away which is a bit of a pain.

Why.... you will pass loads of other stockists on your travels... Just fill up as and when you pass one..
I always fill on way home from a trip so always full tank for start of next trip
£1.30 PL!
That is pure profiteering.
If you had filled up on the A19 north of Wolveston you would have paid 99p
or gone down to Thirsk it's 95p
The average price of Autogas today is £1.01p in the UK
The prices can be seen here
Anyone selling LPG at much over £1/PL is basically ripping you off.
It's worth downloading the "MyLPG.EU" app to your phone, as this gives you both the price and the availability.

It's only because we are staying put for a while so it just means travelling out of the area to refill...first world problem reallyWhy.... you will pass loads of other stockists on your travels... Just fill up as and when you pass one..

just inconvenient when it has been so readily available! But yes of course not an issue if we are travelling around.Subscribers do not see these advertisements
But it is no longer owned by Morrisons they sold out to some millionaires!
We no longer buy enough forecourt LPG to make it worthwhile selling it at the previous lower prices. I would rather they put the prices up than all packed up selling it.

Still 97.5p at our local near Alness, Cromarty
Just paid £1.11p at Leatherhead service station, Givens Grove, KT22 8LY. Profiteering or not I’m glad they still provide it and for the amount I use (11 litres since June) the price difference doesn’t make a worthwhile difference. The next nearest one to me would cost me much more in diesel to get there.

The treacle mine garage off the roundabout near Polegate is another possibility nearer to you.

They haven't had LPG since they changed from COOP to Morrisons months ago.

There are about 3 x the number of LPG powered cars in France than in the UK and this is bound to affect the forecourt price. Demand for refillable in the UK is lower and falling. However some European countries use a mix of butane and propane whereas in the UK we get pure propane and that matters in cold weather.
I'll keep that in mind. Is this indicated on the pumps at all?
I doubt it. In summer they probably vary the mix according to the spot prices, i.e. use whichever is cheapest. In winter they may shift to propane because of the cold weather. For cars that fill up several times a month it doesn’t matter but we use so little you don’t want to get caught out with a butane mix when the cold weather comes.
My man near Telford crematorium is still 75 ppl

Wow!
Price confirmed to on MyLPG.EU here!
75p per litre, is the Watling Street Grange LPG pump in Telford the cheapest in England ?
At that price it's actually worth travelling 20 additional miles just to fill up.
The location is https://what3words.com/clip.yummy.highways
Which is just off the A5 just outside of Telford
or 1.5 miles from exit 4 of the M54
That is a location that is going into my satnav, as I go to north Wales at least once a year.

The Watling Street Grange LPG pump at 75p/L is literally just up the road.
