I live about 5 miles west of Brighton, but the petrol around home is a good 3 or 4p per litre more expensive than it is in Brighton. I didn't realise that, and used to just fill up at the supermarket up the road. But 80 litres times 4p means that I now fill up nearer to the office. The other thing to watch out for are retailer discount codes. I mentioned the Dixons AW codes above, but there's a loads more, and a whole industry grown up where sites reveal the codes in exchange for affilliate links through to the retail sites. But of course once you know the codes you close that browser session down and link through again via Quidco or the like.
