the cheapest region to fill up in was Grampian in Scotland with an average petrol price of 129.7 pence a litre. 

Outside of Scotland, Denbighshire in Wales has the cheapest price per litre of 130.9p.

Regionally, north-west England was cheapest at an average of 131.9 pence per litre of premium unleaded fuel.


I presume similar variances are present where you live

Even within "little" old Tassie the price can vary by 10c or more between one part and another ... :eek:

Brixton Street in Kenwick is pretty cheap because it's a long street and lots of people park their cars on the road side and don't have lockable fuel caps.
So it makes it pretty cheap fuel if you don't get caught.
Can end up with burnt lips though.  :(

How recent was that? That was also from an area with prices a couple of pence cheaper than I can get at home as well. I'd hate to see the shell prices round here if they had a garage nearby.

Ouch... That really is painful to hear. I can't even get supermarket diesel for that. At least not without driving far enough to negate the savings.

Yeah, I use petrolprices.com and have whatgas petrol prices android app. This is what I get in petrolprices.com http://www.petrolprices.com/members-search.html?fueltype=6&range=5&search=B61. It may be so expensive because I live a mile or so away from where the M5 and M42 join, so there's a little of the motorway service station effect on prices. but all the same you'd expect great motorway links to help bring the prices down.
