the big players in LPG have all pulled out. Here in leicester im struggling to find anywhere. None of the supermarkets here sell it. None of the big garages shell/bp have all stopped. i have a morrisons just down the road from me and they dont sell it. Luckily we have a flogas outlet here but he has not had regular deliveries for the last 12 mths . Its hit and miss. How much is to do with the ukrain / oil issues , i dont know . Seems that more and more people have gone over to LPG for central heating and i suppose get pref deliveries on priority for heating. Stewart is lucky he can get his at morrisons ... for now , as they were on the list of withdrawing too !! ...

all my places to fill up are in a 12-15 mile radius of home. Mostly Morrisons, but one of the Peterborough ones is a gas wholesaler and is usually a lot cheaper). \i fill up whenever I am passing any of them.

Esso at Flamstead seem to still stock it but I'll double check when I next visit in the light of your comment. Kev Last edited by torque2me; 5th July 2022 at 18:17.. Reason: spelling |

Just rang up this morning, the welcome break services at leicester forest east . They have the typical north and south bound services facing each other on the M1." Nope " was the answer ," we dont stock it anymore." AND if they cannot make it pay , then .... unless its a problem of supply ..

I was reading a car site the other week & they were saying insurance companies are now calling E5 & LPG 'Specialist fuels' with more & more petrol stations not supplying them because of low profit margins. They said the forecourt makes 80% of it's revenue through the shop with coffee & food to go & only 20% on fuel sales.

I'm running my Morris Oxford on E5 with lead replacement. The new engine being a NOS crate motor from the 80's or 90's at the latest is unlikely to have hardened valve seats & has zero lead memory.
