Finding cheapest petrol in your area

happy2bhere

Just saw this on hotukdeal...such a good idea, you type in your postcode & it tells you prices of petrol station in your area.

http://www.petrolprices.com/

Have used this site for a while now and it is very good. You have to register, which is free and you have 20 searches, not sure if that is per day though.

Just a quick mention, don't be surprised to search on petrolprices, drive straight to your local forecourt and discover the prices have already changed. Each search states when the prices were last checked, at the moment with the cost rising pretty quickly it's usually lagging a day or two behind (=1-2 pence per litre difference).

Once things level off you'll see a big improvement in the sites' accuracy :beer:

Also, doesn't seem to include Tesco. Maybe it's just in my area, but there are about 20 of them within 20 miles, none of them are included. Nice idea though, but won't save me a lot as it just confirms what I already knew: go to the hypermarkets.

On the way to Tesco for fuel yesterday I noticed both Asda and Sainsbury's were cheaper by 2p per litre!

Filling up at Sainsbury's (Doncaster) I paid 112.9p per litre for unleaded saving over £1 on a tank full.

Has anyone else noticed Tesco being consistently more expensive for fuel?

Well in this area Tesco are invariably NOT among the cheapest petrol stations so don't show up. A local independent (which doesn't always show up because of the way the site collects prices) is 4p cheaper than Tesco most of the time

Good site this, been using it for quite a while. I see Tescos listed in Hampshire.
I particularly like the fact you can sign up for a weekly email with the best prices in your area in the email.

You can even have an email everyday if you like, also you can select 3 different areas.

I have mine set for home, work and our main office.
