Pay less per litre
A few habits that quietly cut what you spend at the pump — no app or loyalty card required.
Supermarkets are usually 3–6p/l cheaper than branded forecourts.
Fill up midweek — prices often creep up before the weekend.
Avoid motorway services — typically 15–20p/l dearer.
Check before a detour: driving 10 miles for 2p/l usually loses money.
A 7p/litre gap saves roughly £3.50 on a 50-litre tank. Figures are illustrative — always confirm the price at the forecourt.
