Both of the ones I went to didn't seem to mind how many were
purchased, however, I had always purchased petrol anyway!
What was painful was the one with 3p per litre more petrol
was the one that had the better availability!
Hearing about the upcoming promo, had swapped my petrol
stations to Shell (Both are fierce competitors, and I think
some of the cheapest around! 60.9p! Anyone any cheaper??) &
had managed to get 8 sets with points (helped with a failed
smart card, they gave me 25 points "compensation!")
