Method

The same products on both sides under their local names (E10 is compared only with E10), no premium fuels or HVO. Averages of the stations within the radius shown, as the crow flies; a gap is given only for prices less than 48 hours old on the same local date, and flagged when it rests on a single station. The time of the price is when it was collected, not when it changed: check at the pump.
