$2.69 at a Walmart 3½ miles away ... Baton Rouge, La.
Which is [i]always[/i] the same as the Murphy Express that's on the other side of the highway 3⅖ miles away.

I also use the GasBuddy App👍🏻. It's very handy and has saved me 5¢ to 11¢ per Gallon when I'm not near a WALMART or SAM'S CLUB Station

@Jacko1971 They are, and for more than the fuel. I think that 20p (more than £1 / gallon) was an exception though. Most seem to average 10p more.
I try to avoid using them. Occasionally I travel up the M5 so starting with a full tank and topping-up in Tewkesbury is usually enough to reach a filling-station off the motorway near my destination. I use the service areas only for the food and drink I take from home, a rest, and for the toilets. I can't recall when I last used any of the cafeterias. I think it was in the Winchester or the costlier-still Fleet services; but I abjure the up-price-down-value, Mactuckycostabucksburger chains anyway!

@Jacko1971 Usually, yes but nearby, easy to find and easy to regain the motorway? For example, the one at the Preston turn-off used to be accessible but is now a swine to reach from the M6, and if you make a mistake you can end up driving for several miles along the dual-carriageway to the town. Even some motorway services, where placed alongside major junctions, are desperately confusing and difficult to enter and leave - it's as if road-planners attend special courses in making junctions as hard and hazardous as possible!

I recall one Summer journey through Staffordshire where I became totally confused by a particularly labrynthine service-area, and accidentally exited through a one-way, staff-only road on to a T-junction with a rural lane!
"Ah", thinks I. "Well, I am going North, the sun is to the North-West this being an August evening, and is ahead to my left, the lane runs West-East, the motorway is to my right. SO...."
I followed the lane over the M6, met a main road, turned left. A few miles on I found a low-cost filling-station, refuelled, worked out my position from the atlas and duly regained the M6 several miles further along this parallel A-road.
Perhaps I should have made note of which services, for future reference.
