hi, check out the fuel price forum - my post on Bourne End Marina - just got a note in from Windsor and Bray to say they'll negotiate on 100 lts or more.
Laleham is between Chertsey and Penton Hook locks.
I dont think the Laleham diesel is City diesel so no reason for them to drop price that far - prob cant anyway. Remains to be seen what happens to diesel prices generally on Thames once ramifications of MMS situation become clear as they were main instigators of low price diesel and Laleham set their price to compete.

Caversham boats above the lock on the island with the bowling green, Better Boating behind the island going downstream before you get to Tesco's. Are you sure you got the right one?
ChrisP ;o)
What do you mean the sea gull in front's walking !!!
Clear on it now - only get up there a couyple of times a year and moor by the green under the bridger as you come out of the lock - Caversham boats is the one I called - on the island.
When my fuel volumes increase I will be able to drop prices. As stated before an annual berth holder at Bray/Windsor pays 36p. A visitor 40p. I will talk price for over 100ltrs.
The forum is cirtainly starting to have an efect on fuel prices. It got up to 40p in plymouth. Now they have big signs by the water. COME THIS WAY FOR FUEL. ONLY 28p. Or similar. Might start working on other things soon!

Your discounted price is still waaay higher than the 24p a litre at Laleham and the 30p a litre pre-discount price of Better Boating. As a matter of interest I have it on good authority that Laleham are selling circa 7,000 litres every 3 or 4 days.
Yes Byron old mate ...agreed... BUT i believe Windsor is City Diesel (as per garage forecourts) rather than the cheaper variety and I am assured by a couiple of people I know that their engines do run much better on the City stuff. Perhaps Mike would confirm if this is the case?

I, too, have used Laleham in recent months on at least two occasions and have had no apparent problems. The point I was making is that City Diesel will inevitably be more expensive and there will be some who prefer to pay the extra - a matter of choice rather than economics.
I was, however, talking to someone last week who filled up with City from Windsor recently and he swears that his engines' performance has 'significantly improved'.
