If you haven't been to the pumps yet this week then watch out - all garages have changed their prices to Euro's!!

If you didn't know any better, you could easily stick in 20.00 Euro’s worth, hand over £20 punts to the assistant and walk off. The forecourt would then pocket £4.25!!!!

I've also heard that Shell are giving away smallish Euro calculators (ok, so every household has/should received a free one, but thats rather bulky to carry around in your pocket).

Doh! So who are the renegades then? Are they independently owned forecourts? No free calculators available from them I'd say, going by their rip-off prices. :(
