Cars doubling over UK cause Petrol Stations to Close…

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) October 17, 2011 -- Reports have shown that over the last 20 years half of the UK’s Forecourts have gradually been disappearing…
Since 1991 almost 11,000 petrol stations have closed leaving just 9,000 pumps left across the UK. What’s the reasoning for this? Fuel Efficient modern cars have been to blame as they no longer require frequent filling up.

Did you know that our British roads now hold up to 31 Million cars?

The number of cars on our British roads has increased by double to over 31 million... And as a result of this there are now even fewer pumps around to fill them; this causes the issue of ‘Fuel Deserts’.

Petrol stations in Slough, Berkshire bear a record breaking 10,200 cars per filling station. This would prove to be very inconvenient for a driver as they are trying to fill up, it’s not only frustrating by making a lot of people wait but potentially interrupting their everyday routine.

We find that as more petrol stations close, our options as to which fuel/price we would prefer is then limited. This could mean that if the pumps are continuously being shut down then we will no longer have the privilege to decide where to go and will literally have to go for whatever is on offer.

This is why having a fuel card would be so beneficial. You would no longer have to worry about selecting a petrol station based on the cost of your fuel as BWOC offer a range of fuel card services which set the price at the beginning of each week, for the whole week, and with over 1,600 premium sites accepting fuel Cards including motorway services you have nationwide coverage and access to the largest HGV/LCV network in the UK.
