Is that the Shell petrol station north of the M25?
I filled up the van last night at the little independent one on the A405 just south of the M25 for (I'm sure) £1.78 a litre.

Last time I used that app I drove 2 miles to a station...only to find that the app price was rather optimistic Vs the actual price!

Yes, Chiswell Green Shell on the roundabout.
I've never been in that Harvest Energy station.

It relies on users updating it. It tells how long it's been since the last update, so in a volatile market you need to take that into consideration.

I've definitely noticed the traffic is lighter where I am....just hope the speed limits don't get dropped on the motorway.
Same here

Sainsbury's unleaded 141.9 this morning, but lots of empty pumps and a big queue. I've still got 3/4 of a tank since last week so I didn't buy any.

Esso and BP local now 181.9 for diesel, that’s 40p dearer than the 3rd March.
If you are talking about independants, then more than likely the price they pay has gone up - they pay on a price from the day, maybe at most a week, before. They won't have the storage capacity to still be holding fuel they bought before all this kicked off - would you charge less than you have to pay for your goods delivered the day before?
Even the larger places will be paying more for fuel - I used to work on a motorway service area 30 yrs ago - might get several tankers in one shift, several times a week - the price they will be paying will have gone up, so of course they will increase their prices.
Certainly affects me - the two cars I currently drive - both struggle to get above 20mpg - one being old, turbo charged, dragging a 4wd system around in a small hatchback shell, the other being a big V8 dragging a 2 tonne 2 door coupe shell around.
