Petrol Price Checker is Back

Do you remember when the AA had a petrol price checker on their website?

After they got rid of it many of us wrote to the AA asking why it went and if it is coming back.

Well another web sit has taken up the flag, so you can now search for your cheapest fuel supplier here. www.petrolprices.com

You need to register, as you did with the AA's one.

Have a look and see what you think. My first thoughts are that the map doesn't accurately show where petrol stations are and that the distance stated is not accurate. But I can let them off as this program has saved me a lot of money in the past.

    It's as good as the original version - indeed, better, because of the maps. :)

  • Don't worry about that mate. ;)

    From the site FAQs
    "You can search 20 unique areas or postcodes per week. You are able to search for each unique postcode as many times as you like."

    So if you always look for your local petrol stations you won't run out of searches. However, if you want to search more than 20 differant areas you will have to wait till next week.
