Here is a link to a way that might get us some cheaper petrol in the future. http://www.pipelinecard.org/  I reckon its worth a try - seeing as I pay 89.9p a litre at mo!
Here is what the homepage says:
Fed up paying ridiculous petrol prices?  Save money with a free Pipeline Card!
All those involved in the oil business are getting their cut from the inflated prices we're paying on the forecourts - the oil-well owners, refineries, filling stations. On top of that, the government siphons off nearly 70p per litre in tax.
These organisations behave as if petrol and diesel were luxury goods, and driving was a hobby. It is not. We are not 'motorists' as we have been branded. We are teachers, nurses, professional and business people, parents. We drive because we have to.
Strength in numbers
There are nearly 32 million of us in the UK. If a large number of us band together and choose to give our custom to one major forecourt chain, we could negotiate a substantial discount for ourselves. Pipeline Card has been established to achieve just that and we are well on our way to success.
Our target
We have already secured an agreement in principle from a major UK fuel retailer to provide a discount to our members. We need you – and your friends and your work colleagues - to join with us in order to win a substantial reduction in forecourt prices across the whole country.
Act now!
It costs absolutely nothing to join, but by joining Pipeline Card today you strengthen our clout as well as making yourself eligible to buy fuel at a discount. By telling other drivers about this website you can make that happen sooner - and do them a favour into the bargain.
Another interesting site is http://www.petrolprices.com/ which finds the cheapest petrol stations in your area.
Hope this helps all the UK drivers out there :P
