The North recorded the lowest price for unleaded at 132.4ppl.
Northern Ireland recorded the highest diesel price at 142.8ppl.

Although the above report just came in today you would be hard pressed in Dover to find it at 134.1 per litre as our prices here tend to be above the national average and above the SouthEast average.

Yes petrol very much cheaper in other countries as the bulk of our pricing is made up of taxes. Certainly the poor beleaguered motorist is overburdened with taxes here in the UK.. there is tax when you buy the car, you have to have the thing taxed to run it, you get taxed everytime you put fuel in it, you get taxed everytime you stop in it...'orrible innit.
The first car journey in this country was made driving a Peugeot from Micheldever station to Datchett in 1895..as we saw on Michael Portillo's train journeys the other day..how many of us must regret that day. The motor vehicle arrived at Micheldever by train all the way from France.
Yes that price in Canterbury is the best around.
