How much less petrol do you get every time it rises by a penny a litre? Say if you put in £10 worth...?

The amount less fuel you get for each penny increase decreases as the price goes up. Below is a table showing the reduction in the amount of fuel you get as the price increases from £1.15 to £1.30.

Depending on the price you pay you get around 1/120th less fuel for your money.
