Its not that simple, the price depends on what was paid when the tank was last topped up, for some fields this can be months ago. The price of filling the tank depends on current prices, quantity and distance from the depot so there are many variables at play.
Also some airfields own the tank and pump so they can shop around, many are owned by one oil company so no competition.
