Rows show snapshots where at least one price changed, over the last 30 days of recorded data.
This station's history includes a swing of 5p a litre or more. A change that size can be genuine repricing, but it can also be a data-entry mistake in the station's submission to the government scheme, so check the price at the pump before making a special trip.
