The most expensive LPG in the UK?

  • Thread starter Thread starter Robert Clark

The wholesale price of LPG is actually rising again ⚠️
Currently at over $800.00 per MT
So whilst prices may appear stable at certain places ,they probably bought massive forward stocks the overall trend is still rising prices .
This time of year we should be seeing around $300.00 per MT

I don’t doubt it at all .
We were actually paying something like £1,06 a litre for our supplies , then we get moaned at that it’s cheaper at Morrisons ⚠️
Well go there then , “ They haven’t got any ! “
No surprise there then 😂

I would have put down the right money and walked out with the paper.

You have paid and you do not have to abide by their company rules.

While a retailer would be daft to refuse to sell something when offered the money it's only an "offer" to sell an item and there is no obligation to accept. A contract is made when payment is accepted which then invokes all the legal obligations of that sale, refunds, returns, guarantees etc. Something like that anyway! :giggle:

Filllpg app shows it at £100.1/ltr.... updated today 29 Apr..
Not for a minute doubting you but surely some mistake at price you quoting!!!
Edit that can't be right either.. must mean £1.01/ltr

Yes that was me earlier incorrectly updating ...now updated. No mistake, I paid £1.779 / L.

One of our local ones has it at 99.9p/l on their sign but this may just because the sign has insufficient digits.

Much cheaper in Morrisons at Sittingbourne today. We filled up at 82.7p/l. Glad we're not paying over £1/l like some people.

The past few days have been rather painful regarding LPG

Picked up my van from being serviced at our dealer in Doncaster to discover my LPG tank was empty (they must have had the heating on)

As we’re going away in a week or two I decided it would be sensible to buy some before setting off

Sadly all the regular filling stations between Doncaster and home in Sussex were empty.

We have a place locally (about 15 miles away) so decided to make a special trip there yesterday. I took the precaution to call before leaving, to discover they had gas at 99.9p per litre- yay !

After a half hour drive I was just about to begin filling when the forecourt attendant ran out and informed me they were closed as their payment system had just crashed and it was likely to take a couple of hours to repair - doh, an hour round trip wasted !!!!

Thought I’d try again this morning, so called to confirm availability. Yay, they still have some !

Imagine how I felt as I approached the garage to see the forecourt taped off.
Apparently their payment system had just crashed again - another 1 hour drive wasted.

Decided to try again this afternoon

Third time lucky !

Taking our diesel into account it must have been the most expensive tank of LPG in the country.

Now thinking I might invest in a couple of Calor bottle in case of emergencies.

I have had a problem getting LPG in doncaster as Morrisons run out my nephew told me they had it at Texaco on York road, this was Thursday, not only did I get it there but a very kind man in a turban came out to help me do it as I had difficulty with the fitting

We sell LPG from the pump and were paying £1.06 per litre a couple of weeks ago ⚠️
Many of the larger retailers have a contract price fixed a year or more in advance, as a small retailer we can’t compete , for the few pence a litre we make It probably costs us more in staff wages .

There are plenty stations to find on the autogas app but unfortunately they are not updated to inform when they close down. Morrisons are worst offenders.
