UK FUELS etc.
Struggled to find some fuel today so went out my way to where I knew.
After looking on the map, there were quite a few that take fuel cards in the area. 🤦 My question is, if it doesn't have HGV highlighted, does that mean there will be a surcharge as it's just a normal garage? Even tho they have fuel cards ticked.
Thanks

on the same app, you can spot which site it is bunker or non bunker. On non bunker sites in general are with 5p more.

not necessarily. There's a HGV pump by me, it's coming back as non bunker and yet I don't get charged

it doesn't mean they have a surcharge, it means that there is no specific hgv pump at that garage

I fill up my car on UK Fuels at a petrol station that isn't for HGV's and don't pay any extra charges. the only ones I've come across that cost a little more are supermarkets.

It’s not wether it’s HGV or not. As we operate PCVs. It’s if it’s a bunker site or not. BP use bunker sites which give you a better rate. Shell Use the word CRS sites. But it’s generally on major motorways.
