Isn't it strange how we drivers react to fuel price changes? If my favourite loaf of bread or tin of beans or whatever dropped by 5p, I wouldn't think about how much I could buy and store cos after all its only 5p! But when it comes to fuel we will drive around trying to get the cheapest deal to save what, a few quid? If that?
Would you be able to say how much your last loaf of bread or pint of milk cost? No neither can I, but I do know how much my last litre of diesel was!

More than 200 litres of fuel (except central heating oil) and you come under the fuel storage regs, which means buded tank etc.

Exactly Bobby - I couldn't tell you what price the petrol was I last put in the car. Or how high the local station is. I woudln't dream of driving out of my way to save a few pence per litre.
I drive, the light comes on, I drive a little more, then stop at the nearest petrol station I come to and stick 20 quid in.
Job done!

Beans low salt 39p Wholemeal loaf 90p with 2.7grams fat per 100grams,useless piece of information except that the beans have gone up from 17p in 12 months and the loaf from 55p.Hidden supermarket price increases are a lot more of a concern than a few pence on fuel.

Do none of you work? The average full time male worker earns about £15 an hour. If it takes you just 5 minutes to read this thread, think about it and respond that costs you £1.25 in lost wages. The saving is 5p a litre. A £1.25 saving equates to 25 litres.
In response to OP I would stop thinking about ways to save money on petrol in this way. Your savings are effectivly being wiped out at 1 litre per minute. That is if you intend to store, say 120 litres extra, don't spend anymore time than 2 hours wondering how.

You are assuming we are not still getting paid by our employers whilst we write these posts? :)

But you dont eat 50 tins of beans a a week., I get through 50 litres of fuel a week so a 5p saving is (gets out fingers - is errrrrrrr) why thats two pounds 50p. Thats 10 fags, 1/2 a pint of beer, the times for 4 days.

At £5 a pint I'd want to save the pennies too!
