Methodology and freshness checks

Regional rankings use stations with fresh and aging updates first. Regions without enough recent data are flagged, so you can avoid over-trusting thin samples.

Averages are comparative indicators, not guaranteed fill-up prices. Use each county or district page to confirm station-level timestamps and confidence before travelling.
