The cheapest I can find it at the moment is 72.7p/litre, so you're about right there. This is on the outskirts of Watford, at ASDA(-Walmart) or Sainsbury's on the A41 for anyone travelling in this area. Most places are a couple of pence more than this. Motorway services tend to be 6 or 7p more! My car costs about 12p/mile for petrol in normal use, down to about 10.5p on long journeys.
