I filled up in Jersey back in August and their price was higher than the i.o.w. Not much point in going there to get cheaper fuel, by the time you get back you will have used most of it!
last time I went (to St PP admitiedly) white dieslel there was (apparantely 'cos i didn't take any onboard) 6ppl higher than I was paying in Poole (51ppl v 45ppl) so reversing my usual procedure and refueling in St PP rather than Poole will add 180 x 6p = £10-80
If I went all the extra miles to St Hellier and back it would add another 45 x 6p bringing the total increase to £13-55
