Advantages: Can save you cash when filling your car

Disadvantages: Data somtimes a little out of date

The website allows you to search by town or post code, and will list the cheapest petrol/diesel in that area. You can choose which fuel to display, and the size of the search area.

To get the full info you need to register your email address, but there is no cost. You then get the details on an individual basis for each petrol station. You can get details for unleaded, super unleaded, LRP, LPG, diesel and premium diesel.

You can even get email alerts for up to three post code and fuel combinations, and get the info daily if you want. The information is sent in the middle of the day, and relates to data from the previous day, so is sometimes a day out of date.

I find it useful when travelling areas away from home when I'm not familiar with the area. The info may be a slightly out of date by the time you get there, but it still gives you an idea of the cheapest stations, and a target price. I live in a generally high fuel price area, and so what seems cheap to me may not necessarily be that good deal for the area.

Also on ciao.
