IMPORTANT PLEASE READ This website and forum has been living on borrowed web server time for years. At the end of this month silsden.net in it's present form will cease to exist, BUT there is a new silsden.net in the making, and a new forum, and lots of exciting new things coming to this space.

|
| ted |
does anyone know where the cheapest is in this area? i too will be boycotting silsden after hearing this news |
|
| Dave |
i use this site to keep up to date with the cheapest prices www.petrolprices.com/ Just pop your postcode in and away you go. |
|
| dogcatcher |
dave asda isnt on petrolprices.com yet as its what i use for latest prices, but asda seems to match or beat the lowest price every time  |
|
| Dave |
I noticed they haven't put Asda on there yet. Asda, Morrisons and Sainsburys are usually the same price though. |
|
| pumbajunior |
for unleaded asda is cheapest but its card only 106.9 its 2p cheaper than nearest ones |
|
| bobber |
yep asda is the cheapest for many miles around.you have to pay by card at the pump but once you've done it once it comes easily thereafter.it might only be a penny a litre cheaper than some but in my book the one that's prepared to be the cheapest gets my vote. |
|
| roosterman |
one up halifax road is 107.9 for unleaded,and thats cash |
|

quotefor unleaded asda is cheapest but its card only 106.9 its 2p cheaper than nearest ones diesel good there as well, the only downfall at asda is the £70 limit they put on card only that only half fills mine |
|
| skippy |
how would you know how much it costs to fill up the old jallopy scrooge  |
|
| bobber |
good grief 'dogcatcher' what do you run, a sherman tank? |
|
| pumbajunior |
nah it must be a T74 built by our good brummie comrades my new one only takes about £35-40 to fill n about 600 miles on a run |
|
| alan |
quotenah it must be a T74 built by our good brummie comrades my new one only takes about £35-40 to fill n about 600 miles on a run Yours was built by dogeaters though pumba |
|
| pumbajunior |
Maybe Alan but they certainly know how to tack a car together and make it run for 100 miles after a wipe over with a petrol soaked rag |
|
| alan |
and how to make it boring too pumba  |

I had to use silsden the other day, little needle was on red! I find the co-op BP garage in cross hills has the best prices though |
|
| alan |
this post has been edited 1 time(s) I don't find service is too good in Silsden either! Only use it when I really have too............. |
|
| roosterman |
i certainly agree with you there alan,we only go in if we are desperate,just a fiver to get us into keighley/skipton then we fill the tank up,i used to say to them at the silsden one,see you put your prices up again,they would snap back and say nowt to do with me,then they would say,is that all you have put in,and id reply,thats all i can afford at this place,and yet theres a shell station on the A1 going down to doncaster and its only 1.07 for unleaded and 1.09 for diesal,none of it makes sense |
|

I really don't know what to make of the comments on this topic! Petrol / diesel is one of those things you have to go somewhere to get, so YOU have the choice as to where you get it from i.e. if you don't like the prices down the road then go somewhere else. But... consider this; if the Silsden petrol station went out of business, and the nearest petrol station was 4 miles away, would you notice? would you find it inconvenient when you ran out of petrol for your lawn mower? or perhaps B&Q might be closed when you decide it would be a good idea for a BBQ. Be thankful that we have got a petrol station, many places haven't! |

| alan |
Wouldn't really be bothered Peter Both the Silsden and Ilkley garages he has are more expensive, why should we pay higher prices for living in Silsden? Poor service and high prices is too much for me for the luxury of having it here. |
|
| Peter |
Like I said you take the car to the garage so you don't have to use Silsden or Ilkley garage so why moan about them. Like most people I suspect, I shop around for the best price but I would miss the Silsden petrol station if it wasn't there. |
|
| alan |
Not moaning, just commenting I vote with my feet! or should it be wheels! |

quoteand how to make it boring too pumba nope i had many years of fun in the coupe and very impressed with this so far the turn of speed for such a small car is impressive and the handling is pretty good (even top gear and what car said that to) |

As a rough guide the costs of running a car is around one tenth of the cost per litre per mile. So for the average car this is around 10 - 12 p/mile. Any detour to buy fuel needs to be costed on this basis - which again roughly means a detour to Keighley from Silsden for a fill up is going to be cancelled out by the ost of the return trip for a reasonable fill up of 30 - 40 litres. Before you query these figures please do the calculations. But remember. £1.00/litre is £4.50/gallon which means if you car averages 45 mpg the cost is 10p/mile! |
|
| jonno |
but if like I do you just fill up when you are in Keighley anyway then it doesn't cost anything extra in mileage to get there |
|
| Cobbydale Man |
I am not too bothered which garage to fill up at because I only put £10 worth in each visit. So price changes don't bother me. |

Price per litre down the side, car mpg across top and read off the cost per mile for the fuel. Multiply that by the mileage for any detour to buy fuel. If the intent of the detour is to save on the price of fuel that is the figure the actual saving must be greater than to have made it worthwhile. So if you pass somewhere with cheaper fuel in the course of a normal journey then fine. However, if you are thinking of making a special journey for cheaper fuel you can work out whether or not it is worth it. Remember there is also a wear and tear cost of around 2p mile or more to add to the above figure. |

What a useless and off topic post! |
|
| tolpuddle |
Do you have anything positive to say about anything? |

| dogcatcher |
quotegood grief 'dogcatcher' what do you run, a sherman tank? nearly fuel tank holds 120 litres,,,,, which would be no good for skippyflint i bet he runs his on chip fat |
|
| dogcatcher |
quoteI am not too bothered which garage to fill up at because I only put £10 worth in each visit. So price changes don't bother me. thats £5 more than dogooder puts in every time |
|
| dogcatcher |
just another COMMENT ,,,its not necessary the cost that matters,id rather go 10 miles to get petrol off someone who wants my business than get ripped off in silsden 4p a litre extra is 20p a gallon,local businesses only survive if they can get prices nearer to their competition than that |
|
| Peter |
The lads have escaped. Is it time to close this pointless topic? |
|
| alan |
quoteDo you have anything positive to say about anything? Plenty, but obviously not about off topic posts! |
