For the most reliable experience on iPhone, we recommend always using the same method to access the site — either always via the home screen icon, or always via Safari.

• Change the journey distance
• Select a car model to auto-fill MPG, or enter your own
• Adjust the fuel price per litre

The calculator updates live as you type, so you can quickly see how different assumptions affect your fuel cost. It's pre-filled with your journey data, so you can tweak values without starting from scratch.

• 1-2 miles: Keeps you close to your path for a quick stop.
• 3-5 miles: Searches a wider area, which might uncover significantly cheaper supermarket fuel slightly off the main road.

• Tyres — ensure they have good tread and correct pressure.
• Brakes — to maintain safe stopping distances in wet or icy conditions.
• Heater and demisters — so you can keep your windscreen clear.
• Windscreen wipers and washer fluid — for better visibility in rain, snow, or slush.

We've also added a Tank Range feature — set your current fuel level (Empty, ¼, ½, ¾ or Full) in the Vehicle Details section, and we'll automatically calculate your driving range and highlight the cheapest station you can actually reach. Stations beyond your range are dimmed so you can focus on what's reachable.

Open the Vehicle Details section and set your:

• Fuel Economy (MPG) — your car's miles per gallon
• Tank Size — your fuel tank capacity in litres
• Current Fuel Level — tap Empty, ¼, ½, ¾ or Full

We'll then calculate your estimated driving range and show you:

• A "Best Stop Within Your Range" recommendation — the cheapest reachable station
• Green "In range" and red "Beyond range" labels on every station card
• Dimmed styling on stations you can't reach, so reachable options stand out
• A warning if your fuel won't cover the full journey distance

Everything updates instantly when you change your fuel level, MPG, or tank size — no need to re-search.

Our Tank Range tool is calibrated for safety. While most cars have a small reserve, we calculate 'Empty' as exactly that — to ensure you never get stranded looking for a bargain. Your safety is worth more than a few pence per litre.

Yes! You can add up to 2 extra stops along your journey — completely free. Just click the "Add a Stop" button below the Destination field and enter a town, city or postcode for each stop.

This is perfect for trips where you need to pick someone up, make a detour, or visit multiple places on the way. Each leg of your route is colour-coded on the map (blue, orange and purple) so it's easy to see which part of the journey you're looking at.

On the map, each leg is drawn in a different colour with numbered markers at your stops, making it easy to follow the route at a glance.

You can also remove a station from favourites by tapping the gold star again.

• A banner at the top telling you how many stations went up or down in price
• A small badge on each affected station card — green for "Price dropped" or amber for "Price up" — so you can instantly spot which ones changed

If nothing has changed since your last visit, you won't see anything — the feature only appears when there's something worth knowing.

• From the search results: tap the gold star on any favourited station to remove it
• From the favourites page: tap the gold star icon on the station card you want to remove

You can also use the "Clear All Favourites" button at the bottom of the favourites page to remove all saved stations at once.

• The ⭐ star on a map marker highlights the cheapest station in your current search results on both the map and journey pages. This is added automatically — you don't need to do anything.
• The ☆ star on a station card is the Favourites button. Tap it to save that station for quick access later.

In short: the map star means cheapest, the card star means saved by you.

• Create a dedicated photo album on your device (e.g., name it "Loyalty Card Backups")
• Each time you add a card to the site, save a copy of the barcode image to that album

This way, if you ever clear your browser data or switch to a new phone, you'll have all the images ready to be re-added in seconds.

Nothing is sent to our servers, and we do not collect, access, or process this information in any way.

Because reminders are kept locally on your device, they will not sync across phones or computers. You can edit or delete them at any time directly from your browser settings.

Your preferences are safely stored in your browser's local storage (not cookies), meaning they stay on your device and aren't shared with anyone.

If you'd like to start fresh, click the "Clear location cache" button on the search page — this will instantly remove your saved preferences.

Add your dates:

Once added, you'll see a colour-coded display showing exactly what's coming up:

• Green — not due yet (more than 60 days away)
• Amber — due soon (within 60 days)
• Red — due very soon or due today (within 30 days)
• Grey — expired, take action immediately

Your dates are stored securely on your device only — we never see or store your reminder data.

Privacy note: All reminder dates are saved only on your device (local storage). We don't receive, store, or track your reminder data.

• On a sticker inside your driver's door frame
• In your vehicle's handbook
• On the fuel filler flap (some cars)

Our Tyre Finder page also explains what each number means if you're unsure.

Shared links open the station on the fuel price map so it can be viewed easily without needing to plan a route.

If you believe a price is incorrect, please contact the relevant fuel retailer directly, as they are responsible for the accuracy of their pricing information.
