I honestly dont know- there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the pricing- even among same company outlets less than 5 miles apart..


much bigger variation in LPG though (as a percentage of cost)

The West Coast one looks high. Sure I paid 140.something the other day on Alexandra Parade Shell in Glasgow.

Your ASDA vs private garage by the look of things, also Aberdeen/NE is accessible by duel carriageway, north west is probably A/B roads and takes longer, not sure how much of that 10p or so will be transport though.
