Confused.com has a function which shows the lowest petrol/diesel prices within a certain radius of a chosen postcode.
It told me that the garage a few miles up the road had dropped it to 169.9p/litre, so I whizzed over there.
The 169.9p/litre was correct, but inevitably...
a) They had sold out "an hour ago, but we should be getting more in today".
b) The forecourt was full of new arrivals and recent arrivals manoeuvring around the pumps to find one that was still in service.
c) I thought sod it, I'm here now, I'll just fill up with the closest thing to proper petrol i.e. super for 184.9p/litre.
