‘Outrageous’: The Eco Garage on Holland Road, West London was selling diesel at 177.9p a litre
Millions of Britons will begin their Easter getaway tomorrow under the shadow of the fuel panic fiasco.
Drivers will face congestion, roadworks and record prices to fill up their tanks.
Petrol is at a record 141.79p a litre and diesel at 147.71p – although many garages are charging much higher prices.
Chelsea Cloisters Services in
Knightsbridge, West London, was yesterday charging an incredible 174.9p a
litre for petrol, while the ECO filling station in Kensington’s Holland
Road was selling diesel at 177.9p a litre.
AA
president Edmund King said: ‘These prices are absolutely outrageous and
beyond the pale. Some garages are clearly cashing in and profiteering
from the panic at the previous pumps.’
AA
patrolman Keith Miller said: ‘After a chaotic week, fuel supplies to
forecourts are returning to near-normal levels, so drivers should have
no concerns about heading off for Easter. People should just refuel as
normal, keeping at least a quarter of a tank in their car in case of
traffic delays or if they’re travelling in an unfamiliar area.’
The
Highways Agency said tomorrow night – Maundy Thursday – and Easter
Monday afternoon were likely to be the busiest over the Bank Holiday
weekend, especially on the main holiday routes, as people set out and
return from short breaks or day trips.
Drivers and rail passengers also face delays and disruption from roadworks and engineering works, though both highways and rail bosses say this will be less than usual as repair work has been lifted.
Several major rail routes will have restricted services, with engineering works taking place at London Liverpool Street and the main West Coast mainline shut at various times between Crewe, Liverpool or Preston and further north between Carlisle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

But train bosses say there will be fewer instances of buses replacing trains on the rail network this Easter compared with last Easter.
On the roads, roadworks, lane restrictions and temporary speed limits will remain in place on 22 busy routes, including stretches of the M1 and M25.
But the Highways Agency said it had completed or suspended 90 per cent of roadworks on England’s motorways and major A-roads. Sites where roadworks will remain ‘for safety reasons’ include 22 miles of the M1 near Luton in Bedfordshire, an 11-mile stretch of the M25 near St Albans in Hertfordshire, 11 miles of the M4 near west London and 23 miles of the M62 near Leeds.
Traffic information company INRIX said motorists heading for the West Country were likely to face the worst delays. In one piece of good news for travellers, planned strikes by ground staff at Stansted Airport over Easter were called off after peace talks.
But UK passengers yesterday suffered delays and cancellations from the knock-on effect of a strike by French air traffic controllers which continues today. Three flights from Heathrow to Toulouse, one to Madrid and another to Barcelona were cancelled yesterday.

The Government will not step to help us because its more revenue from Vat for them..The **********!!
Report abuse
This shouldn’t be allowed, the garages should be prosecuted, irrespective where you are in the UK all garage companies like Shell for example should charge the same price…..
The government don’t care what they charge as they collect the revenue, the simple answer is to boycott these forecourts

Whay has happend to all the spare Oil Capacity being held in this County and us being told some was going to be let on to the markets to bring the price down? Drive past those garages that charge above the National average, £1.40 This Government will not get my vote at all and nor will any other party. They all have their hands in our tax payers till now and also in the past.
All drivers should not bother with Easter and stay at home, empty the roads and over night the economy will collapse. Vote of no confidence in the Government anyone?

£1.77 a litre? I suggest all locals to that station remember the profiteering and never use them again. I still don’t use 2 petrol stations near me because of them taking advantage at the last crisis.

AS decent Government would do something to reduced the cost of fuel, goes to show they don;t give a toss about us, we should kick them hard up the backside at the next election, and that’s all the main three parties they are one of the same.

Shouldn’t be allowed to get away with cashing in on people’s misery

ALWAYS CHECK OUT PETROL PRICES ON THE INTERNET AT YOUR LOCAL GARAGES BEFORE YOU FILL UP.

There should be lexus lanes at the forecourts, It’s a disgrace that wimmins shopping cars are allowed in the same queues, A farmer would not feed his chickens the diet of a pig so why does it happen with cars, Ill tell you now, It’s because people don’t vote UKIP.

I drive an electric car. There, I said it. But it costs 1.6p per mile to run, despite feeling pretty quick up to about 70mph. It takes ten seconds to plug it at home, or office, which is the same time as putting my phone on charge. And its always full the next morning … It can do up over 100 miles on a full charge (depends on your right foot). Our aging family car is petrol engined and does only 350 miles on £100 worth of petrol. Whereas the EV costs just £5 to do the same distance, yup, £5. But every Welcome Break motorway service station now has FREE electricity fast-charge points whilst you have a coffee, which is the same deal for 1,000+ other fast-charge points outside of London, even though petrol drivers probably wont be aware of this. And if you’ve got Solar PV on your roof, then the car effectively runs for free from sunlight. My point is not to brag but state that THERE ARE ALTERNATIVE CHOICES TO PETROL EXTORTION !!! Cost? Google Renault Zoe EV …

Hey! If we pick the wrong filling staion to buy petrol, we may have to pay a couple of quid extra to fill the tank. Cancel the holiday immediately!
