Just read this on Twitter:

Sainsbury's are having a postal lottery for pricing fuel. Example 1.359 ltr in Melksham 1.319 ltr in Bristol. Does anyone know why this would be?

Supermarkets price their fuel to compete with other outlets within a few miles. Presumably there's more competition in Bristol; If you have Tesco and Sainsbury's across the road from each other, both selling fuel, then the price will be keener. I don't think Asda sell fuel in Melksham ...

Ah right, logical enough really. Asda don't sell fuel, more is the pity if that would force the price down in Melksham!

By the way, I was looking at This is Bath's website today and it made me smile in a wry sort of way to see that people are commenting on the lack of formatting on that site too!

But it appears to be working on here now!
