There is one just South of the M4 at junction 11 - three mile cross.

Haven't been there for a few months but the price is normally bearable - in comparison to a motorway services, at least.

Guessing you'll be heading down the M5/A417/A419 to Swindon. There is one I've used in Gloucester that's not too far off that track and also another at a services on the 419 probably around Cricklade way. Again, not done so for a couple of months but the price at both was not super cheap yet not a motorway services reach for the vaseline job.

Thanks Kevin

I drove through a nearby one a few days ago due to 81p, I'll check these against the price database and see how easy to get to.

May 2011 at 13:33 Reading services advertise lpg, but it's massively over priced and always out of stock ime. The one Kev mentions in spencers wood is the one I use. Not sure if they still do the accumulator card, helps further on price.

The one I was using was 79.9, but if you remember we had a thread about LPG running costs a while ago and you were amazed how high my costs per mile were.
This got me thinking, and I suspected the pump was delivering less than it said it was. So I changed to another (albeit more expensive) garage and my costs seem to have dropped significanltly. I am putting in less litres for a given amount of miles, according to this pump, so my suspicions about the previous pump have been (unscientifically) confirmed. Wink

Interesting. I once apparently filled up with over 80 litres when my tank always cuts out at 64 litres from empty. Garage attendant was adamant that it was correct despite my tank only being 80 litres in volume ( and it wasn't empty to start with!).

Never did remember to write a snottogram to their head office. Angry

Which reminds me Kevin. The pump which I suspect of being innaccurate, on more than one occasion filled my 60 litre tank with 60 litres of gas, despite the fact that In hadnt runout when I arrived at the pump.
TB filled up there (iirc) when he/gixer/lazyfecker went dogging during the Essex meet. I wonder if he noticed anything amiss. Undecided

Iirc Tb wasn't sure of the current level or the full fill level as he was still fiddling with tank position and fuel gauge set up. But think he mentioned it seemed to fill excessively. Gauge on the tank jumped right at the end of the fill.
