Fuel for thought
The Council of Voluntary Services is to approach the oil companies to ask why we pay so much for petrol on Arran. At least that is the implication in a survey which they prepared on Arran petrol prices. It concludes that it is not right to blame local garages for us having to pay the highest prices in Scotland. Mike Lunan, who prepared the survey, spoke to Blackwaterfoot Garage which gave its price of unleaded as 78.6 per litre. Ribbecks petrol costs 76.9 per litre.
