I tracked 7,700 UK petrol stations every 10 minutes for 3 months | Hacker News

A developer scraped the UK Fuel Finder API every 10 minutes for three months to build price histories for 7,700 petrol stations.

The analysis found a classic “rocket and feather” pattern: prices rise quickly, but fall more slowly.

Motorway stations were far more expensive than average, while supermarket fuel was only slightly cheaper.

The data offers a station-level view of how UK fuel prices move over time and how wholesale changes reach drivers.
