    I use this site and get an email nearly every day with price updates on the five stations nearest me. It's easy to set up.

    Yep, I use petrol prices too. FYI, petrol tends to be cheaper midweek, so if it's possible, try and buy your fuel on Wednesdays - you'll usually get a better deal.

    I normally head 10 mile south, across the border into Mexico (Republic) and fill it up for cheaper.

    You get a price update email and also the odd newsletter. No spam though :)

    I also get cheapest of 110.9, but its not been updated in two days, be interesting if that is because its not been sent to them for an update or if the price just hasn't changed since then, going to have to go for a drive later.

    I filled up the defender pre driving north this weekend - £61 for a tank full. I burnt ~3/4 of that getting there (the fuel guage is dodgy so I'm entirely sure the exact figure). It was 128.9p, so petrol is nothing compared to that!
    Coming back down again I filled up - 130.9p. I cried :waah:
