These figures describe the national averages shown in the chart. Individual station prices can move differently.

What the change means for a fill-up

At the current 30-day change, the website's standard 55-litre comparison changes by about £1.27 for petrol and £3.03 for diesel.

The 55-litre figure is a consistent, realistic large-fill comparison. Your result depends on how much you buy and whether your usual station moved with the average.

Why a 30-day price move is not a forecast

Station prices respond to wholesale petrol and diesel markets, exchange rates, duty and VAT, delivery and retail costs, competition and the timing of each station's price decision. Those inputs can reverse.

Use the trend to understand direction. Use a current station price and last-updated time to decide where to fill today.

A practical weekly check

  1. Read the official weekly UK series for market background.
  2. Check a local postcode for actual station prices.
  3. Compare the saving with the detour and amount you plan to buy.
  4. Check when the price last changed before choosing a station.

When will fuel prices go down again?
