They're not that hard to find. I'm sure between us we can advise
you where the ones are in the area you are curious about.

I'm going through the yellow pages on yell.com atm but it's hard work
switching between Anquet and Yell all the time. They've 100 filling stations
listed in Scotland but no gridreferences. I'm only interested in filling
stations north of the Highland Boundary Fault and outside places like
Aberdeen etc.

The out of the way ones are not open normal hours :-(

Better idea is to keep your tank 3/4 full, plus a 5 liter can.

Perhaps it would save you time if you just carried a spare can of fuel
in your car.

Theo, you may find http://www.petrolprices.com/ useful. You'll need to
register (which may involve pretending to live in the UK ;-) )
Type in the town where you are going and it will create a list of petrol
stations in the area, with current prices and maps.

A far better plan is to fill up where fuel is cheaper. When I was in
Scotland in February the Old Inns Interchange station on the A80 at
Cumbernauld was cheaper than the ones in London. It helps if you drive
something like a diesel that will go for 600 miles on a tank-full.

The filling station in Ullapool has no prices displayed on the large
sign, as one of the locals said, "If you need to fill up you don't
need to know the price." The fact that they couldn't fit four digits
in the sign was a factor too of course. More than a pound for a litre
is getting on for the five pound gallon <ouch>

Cheap petrol in Scotland (north of Glasgow - Edinburgh)

It's true. In places where you think 'this must be the only filling station
in a hundred miles' you expect to be ripped off but it's often the opposite.

Yep, if you -really- want to get ripped off the best place I found was
the A/M74 between Carlisle and Glasgow (OK, it gets better as you near
Glasgow), where every filling station I saw was well, well over the odds
compared to the English side of the border (this was a few years back
but I doubt it got any better).

My Peugeot 406 Diesel has a 75l tank. I can just about manage 1000
miles on one tank, if I drive with care.

The main problem you'll encounter with filling stations is that of
finding LPG. Other than that most towns should have petrol and diesel
I'd have thought.
