UK Fuel Price Intelligence (news.ycombinator.com)
 

Some things I found that surprised me:

The rocket and feather effect is real and measurable. When stations raise prices the average move is 2.35p/litre. When they cut, it's 1.85p. There are also more up moves than down moves. I queried the raw history to check this rather than eyeballing a chart.

Motorway fuel is 28.4p/litre more expensive than everywhere else right now. That's about £14 extra on a 50L fill. Everyone knows motorways are expensive but I didn't expect the gap to be that wide.

The supermarket discount is only about 1.7p. I assumed it would be bigger.

Opposition leader Péter Magyar says he's had a call from Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in which he conceded. 

His man rival Péter Magyar wrote on Facebook: "Viktor Orbán just called me on the phone and congraulated us on our victory."

It would mean an end to 16 years of Orbán rule.
