Tillson, I'm bound to agree with you that, certainly over the last couple of years while I've being paying attention, Shell diesel has consistently been significantly cheaper than BP and the rest. On many occasions, my local Shell station has been cheaper than Tesco, even with their periodic 5p per litre discount offer.
Earlier today, I checked with that cheap fuel website and within 20 miles of my postcode, the best price for diesel was 132.9p, a saving against the dearest of....(I still can't believe this!)... 18p per litre. Quite incredible!
What I find staggering is the fact that there is a gulf in price even between same-brand stations across a single county. I'm thinking Herts here and I feel sorry for those who live at the east and north of the county who pay considerably more than those around Watford where much keener pricing seems to be the norm.
It was only recently I discovered that some stations actually alter their prices between daytime and night. Some also offer a cheaper rate at weekends so I'll choose carefully who gets my business.
