When it comes to your pieces of eight, it pays to be vigilant. The web offers a number of sites that can help you keep track of your outgoings and even help you save a few pennies at the same time.
PetrolPrices.com
The petrol companies' price war is a blessing - it offers cheaper petrol, after all. But there's nothing more frustrating than filling up and starting your journey, only to discover that the petrol station five minutes down the road is 5p per litre cheaper.
With PetrolPrices.com, you'll never have that problem. Simply enter your postcode and the site will offer up the lowest prices in your area. The service covers almost 10,000 petrol stations in the UK.
