It amazes me that anyone would fuel up at a motorway service station, but they always seem to have plenty of punters.  :-\

In Gibraltar last Tuesday £0.91p p/l.

Driving around this week, cheapest I've seen is £1.23 p/l the dearest £1.48p/l.Unleaded. on motorway of course. Because it costs more to deliver, ????  That's what a manager at Moto once said.
Was told by a tanker driver a few years ago that how far the filling station was from the refinery/depot made a difference. Was he yanking my chain. :-\


Only slightly, these mway services obviously don't have any fuel tankers that drive past, or stop, so it's a one off delivery,  ::) :o

And me but maybe they are flush with cash, company car drivers or poor at planning.

Prices usedto be uniform in Spain regardless of where you were but these last few years huge variations have appeared with many “cut price” no frills stations opening up. There are sermarkets offering cheap fuel and further discount if you spend more than £60 in store. Websites showing fuel prices in your locality . Rural stations closing down. Sounds familiar.

And motorway service stations do not have any local competition....

I think the rents at motorway service stations cause prices to be hugely inflated

That's an old chestnut, they charge because they can,captive audience,  the sites used to be owned by the dot(highway's) then the government sold them, and the MSA, bought the land, as did some private equity firms.
