Yesterday I had to drive to a nearby town, just 20 minutes away, and noticed that every single petrol station there was a good 5p per litre cheaper than my town. I might plug this into a map.

The variation in even a couple of miles can be pretty big. I almost never go out of my way to visit a cheaper petrol station because that's usually a false economy, but there are definitely some local places that I favour or avoid because they're almost always cheaper/more expensive than the surrounding ones.

as much as I try to stay away from Google products: waze shows this on the usual driving map quite well

    I had to give up Waze over xmas because it refused to give me the 1 hour, straight down the motorway route, and instead tried to send me a bizarre route that would take 2.5 hours. Switched to Apple Maps and haven't gone back, though I do miss the fact that Waze shows you your current speed.

      this is the only reason I use waze!

        I feel like I’m missing something here - presumably your vehicle has a speedometer? What does the Waze speed dial give you over this?

        Unless you mean that it has the speed limit too, if so I agree that it’s a must have, along with the speed camera alerts.
