No, this isn't supposed to be in motors.

Why is it that petrol is a different price in different petrol stations?

I mean, a Mars Bar for example is the same price in Sainsburys, as in Tescos, as in the local corner shop all over the country. Why is petrol different?

I don't get it?

You sure about the mars bar thing? Round here they're not all the same price. :confused:

It's just competition and also different places buy petrol and different rates, thoughfore have it priced differently....

It's competitive pricing, the same with all products.

I can assure you Mars Bars are not priced the same all across the country.

yeah yeah OK. I don;t buy sweets or mars bars. I assumed. And apparantly incorrectly.

So mars bars are different prices around the country? crazy! :o

I genuinely thought they'd be the same price everywhere. I need to get out more :o
