ASPEN fuel why so expensive

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I didn't know Shell produced an Alkylate fuel. I'd be interested to learn more but can't imagine Shell ever doing anything for our health reasons.

I'll stick with Anglo American.

Most fuel companies will produce alkylate petrol at least in some of their refineries. however they will use it to dilute bulk petrol to make it fit for the forecourts if the petrol produced has exceeded one of the limits of benzene for example.

'Garden Kit' where are you in Devon? I'm looking for an Aspen dealer a little nearer to West Devon than Radmore & Tucker Exeter?

Cheers CDO

Ive heard this everywhere I've tried to buy the stuff in this area, it is just too expensive for dealers to stock and have sitting on their shelves for years. Most people will not buy at the rate it is. It may be a top quality, premium product, but it is one that I shan't be for the foreseeable future, as the nearest dealer is now around 30miles away, yet I have more saw shops in this area than I can count on one hand, says it all really.

I phoned a dealer today and got quoted £16.80 per 5 litres, a discount to £15 for 15 containers or more. Not sure if this is good or not.

Theocus, if those prices include VAT then they are VERY good. Go get some, and take all your friends and buy his complete stock.

 

Maybe the dealer has a particular need to shift stock, but to be honest that price is hardly above dealer cost and leaves what in my opinion is a totally unworkable margin.

 

I only say this because other Arbtalkers should not expect to buy at those prices. It will seldom, if ever, happen.

 

If however those prices don,t include VAT then they are very poor prices.

 

RRP on 2T 5litres is £18.16 inc vat.
