BP near me sells 102RON @ £2.42 per litre

In order to fill your car up you must first lift the nozzle, then press an orange button to confirm you are prepared to pay the price per litre There are also instuctions on its useage and it tells you to always stick to speed limits and drive responsibly!

Fad must have been so naive just a short while ago.
