Some things I found that surprised me:
The rocket and feather effect is real and measurable. When stations raise prices the average move is 2.35p/litre. When they cut, it’s 1.85p. There are also more up moves than down moves. I queried the raw history to check this rather than eyeballing a chart.
Motorway fuel is 28.4p/litre more expensive than everywhere else right now. That’s about £14 extra on a 50L fill. Everyone knows motorways are expensive but I didn’t expect the gap to be that wide.
The supermarket discount is only about 1.7p. I assumed it would be bigger.
