Are fuel prices today the same everywhere?

No. UK averages can move differently from local station prices, and stations can update at different times.

Should I use national average or local price?

Use national average for context, but use local station price and route cost for the real fill-up decision.

Why it matters

Today’s fuel price only matters if it applies to your fill-up.

National averages help explain the market. Station-level public prices help drivers choose. Route & Fuel joins both with app checks for route, fuel type and detour cost.

National context

DESNZ weekly road fuel prices give official average pump-price context for petrol and diesel.

Local station prices

Route & Fuel station pages show current public fuel prices and price-change timestamps.

Real journey value

The app estimates whether the local price difference is enough to beat detour fuel cost.
