My local Halfords wants <b>6.99 a litre</b> [:0][:0] for Castrol LHM-is this a sort of record?
I feel sorry for people who have no other option!!

My local H**fords in Dartford charge £5.99 a litre, which is bad enough - or so I thought! [:(!]
They have a buy one get one free on LHM at the mo… [:D]

Next time you have the misfortune to be in a motorway services petrol station, take a look at the oil prices there - and scream! I'm sure they're worse.....

Paid 13 Euros for 2 litres oil at a motorway services in France last month; still seething! LHM £15 for 5 litres from my local guy (Who enjoyed his BX years ago and now runs a Blown Range Rover- My heater costs more to run than your BX, Tom!)

i say go to LVW and get 5 litre of carlube 10x40w for less than a fiver :D
the rate its going, oil will be cheaper than diesel, which for my diesel will suit me just fine ;)
But then again i'd only stick the Carlube oil in the AX!
As for LHM i get the BIG total drums from GSF, much better!
