Obvs petrol prices are cack atm but as an aside to that.

It used to be the difference between 95 and 98 was fairly consistent, 4/5p a litre more, but lately it seems to be an utter lottery. Not helped that at most servo's the massive forecourt sign generally doesnt advertise the super. It may be me but ive noticed a few times that if petrol station a was cheapest for 95, petrol station b which looked like a rip off was the better deal if you were filling up on 98.

Any geeky members explain, other than profit making because business, why that is? Are there any companies consistently cheaper on super that i can look out for on the bike (i put poverty fuel in the cars)

Pumppal.

I get it ste but you would have thunk 98 would be a consistent margin over 95, but it seems to be random. Annoyingly the only pump price apps I can find never show the super price, i presume because they rely on user contributions for the updates and if you are that cheap to be an active participant in that stuff, you probably arent looking at the 98 anyway.

I put Tesco's premium petrol in my Kwak past two fill ups because it was literally only a penny more expensive. Only difference I notice is it makes more pops when I shift UP now, which it didn't before, it only ever popped and cracked when I shifted DOWN.
