Wow thats some difference.I avoid filling up on petrol stations where at all possible. Sometimes it can be up to 40 cents a litre more! I was in Germany in August and it was around €1.15 in the centre of Hamburg and €1.55 on the motorway. For an 80 litre tank that's a difference over €30!
No you don't...
There's a guy at work who does that, has a spreadsheet of all the local stations that he updates daily. He's not shy about informing everyone of all the savings he makes, either.... Doesn't like it when we point out how it costs more than he 'saves' to drive around town through all the traffic to reach these different stations!
Yeah this is one of the main things to consider when driving out of your way to save a few pennies on a litre of fuel.
Ideally if you're going to do it, you identify a number of petrol stations on your regular routes, to work, to the supermarket, to family/friends, to the gym. That way you're not necessarily going out of your way to fill up. But it's good to know at least which ones are currently the cheapest, so next time you're heading to the gym for example, you can fill up on the way there/back.
Ringing head office to ask what the price of petrol is? Hilarious.
It's a couple of quid on a full tank of fuel, just fill up at whichever station is most convenient and get on with your day.
I'm honestly amazed that people don't seem to care about where they fill up. I guess with 99/V-Power, etc. it's usually the same price, but with diesel and 95 it can fluctuate significantly in Europe...
In my town there are 5 petrol stations and yesterday, diesel cost anywhere between €1.40 and €1.55!
I think it's fairly uncommon for fuel to vary by much more than 5p a litre in the same locality here, nothing worth getting excited about or going out of your way forIn my town there are 5 petrol stations and yesterday, diesel cost anywhere between €1.40 and €1.55!
