They must have got next weeks prices in advance

A huge amount of publicity over an error.

One would think there is nothing else going on

Check the nozzle relationship to the grade of petrol you want as well.

The handles are colour coded for that servo, maybe that brand of retailer.

I've bought 91ULP from red, yellow and blue handled nozzles, I've always checked and then a mate (who's a private traffic engineering consultant) said that 91 always came out of the yellow nozzle, which I knew was BS.

Diesel was always black handles, but recently I've seen grey.

I think it's liberty and apco servos that have the red and blue handles, and I'm pretty sure BP 91 is green and 95 is yellow but it's been a while since going there I may be wrong.

Also noticed this yesterday, 91 Ulp I have seen in green, yellow and blue pumps
I thought there was a standard colour code for pumps

I've been caught out by that too - luckily the smell gave it away as soon as I started pumping.

There probably is........................ for that individual servo

Might be time for some pics to be taken and posted, boys and girls.

Then move this to the 'Conspiracy Thread'.
