Petrol 40.8p
The current level of tax alone on fuel is around 52p per litre!
That's really good.
All the others arounds us, Morrisons which is currently closed due to Morrisons selling the petrol stations off, Tesco and the big brands are 2 to 4p a litre dearer

I always buy the E5 "Super" - but I keep forgetting the price of the main display outside is for E10, that's about 10p / litre cheaper.
I had my first car in 1979, I'm sure petrol was 35p / gallon!

I can recall buying it at 3 gallons for 1 Old Pound

And we think OUR petrol is expensive!!! Prices have come down a bit from their high a few months ago and today basic 91RON petrol here is about $1.60 per litre. Given the current exchange rate that equates to about 80p per litre. It has been as high as about $2.25/litre.
The higher grades of fuel can be up to 20c per litre more expensive. Most cars run on 91 just fine (Not sure what the equivalent grade ratings are overseas) but more modern ones, especially those with smaller, higher compression engines, and performance cars require higher grade.
We also have a weekly price cycle here which is artificially produced by the oil companies which means the prices can and do vary wildly from day to day, with Tuesdays usually being the cheapest.
As usual the Govt has the biggest grubbiest hands in the till!

Our Morrison's closed to for a while and I thought at the time they'd sold it.
Shropshire garage selling diesel 22p cheaper than average
D A Roberts in Grindley Brook says it has customers travelling from miles to buy the cheaper fuel.

This is not too far from where I live, it is often the cheapest in the UK. Only problem is there is always long queues of cars which means long waits.....
I recall on several trips to Germany, the price of fuel could change every day, it was sods law that if you filled up in the morning, it would be cheaper in the afternoon or vice versus
