After spending a week in Fife (Thank you to the weather gods) I couldn't help but notice I was filling up for £1.10 - £1.12 (Derv £1.13) per lite of unleaded.

I'm paying 113.9 at Asda for diesel.

What's more surprising is that you had good weather up there! :shock: :shock:

It's often a case of how close to a refinery the petrol station is the oil companies generally charge a penny or two less to petrol stations in the vicinity of an oil refinery or major depot as the transport costs are lower

He did indeed but he didn't have the foresight to put it in a machine that puts it into your tyres. It's free here along with the water in most stations :D

I feel a little better about the price difference tonight.

I came back via the Asda at Hatfield as I needed milk, and a Turkish Delight, as you do at 1am.

Derv was £1.13, so I filled up there.

It's a credit card only set up though.
