Instead of discounted prices why can't we have a standard price for petrol diesel and LPG for the whole nation regardless of geography. This would mean the small independant rural petrol stations (Esp Scotland, and the extreme SW) could remain in business and remote villages would not have to drive 30 miles to get fuel
oh:
That idea would never work its far to sensible

That might work of all the travel is within the one rural area itself but would it work for long distance travellers?I think it would make rural areas more attractive to certain businesses - those mainly being the supply and logistics ones, which would be good for those areas!(snip)

The oil producing countries set the crude price so no real competition there
Most H.G.V.'s fill up using one or other of the fuel companys' cards. They don't actually pay the pump price, it's a discounted fixed price.That might work of all the travel is within the one rural area itself but would it work for long distance travellers?
I should have thought that if fuel price differences were so important then companies sending vehicles long distances would research the cheapest places along routes (using websites like petrolprices.com) and instruct their drivers where to fill up if there were savings to be made. Perhaps that is not the case, though, as it is far from uncommon to see HGVs refuelling at (expensive) motorway filling stations.
