I can see how the people that drill, pipeline and refine the fuel are going to be really upset that you've bought it from a.n.other forecourt that they supplied the fuel to anyway?
Since they own the end to end process i can't see how this would work. Sorry :-)
Another point in all this is that out of the cost of Fuel at say 131.9 a litre.
Fuel Duty is circa 60p, VAT is circa 22p (so 82p is Direct Taxation to the government).
Fuel itself is about 46p (with all the inherent costs of actually producing it)
Tanker Delivery cut is about 5p.
I suspect you are getting upset at the wrong people about why it costs so much.
