Gloucester Services on the M5 showing 142.2p… doesn’t sound right.

Next cheapest is 150.7p

Apparently the Murco in Woopit are selling SUL at 149.9p, so I might scout it on my motorbike and get them to chuck in a tenner and return in my car if it really is that cheap :lol:
That's 5 mins from my g/f's house, so is my go-to fuel station especially for Diesel. They were always 15p a litre cheaper than Harleston/Diss before this chaos kicked off.
You settle up, I'll go get the Jag.

This one? With only 1 fuel pricing entry they've literally just appeared on the system, and it's probably shit data. The deadline for registering and updating prices was months ago. There's still quite a few like this, or who haven't updated their pricing in months.

The gov are going to start cracking down on these people now as the grace period is over.

For the first time since all this chaos started, yesterday saw more fuel stations lowering their prices than raising them nationally. There were still only around 500 price changes all day (compared to nearly 6,000 at peak gouging about 3 weeks ago).

I think the next main update will be a separate stats page
