Compare motorway petrol and diesel prices.
Check reported motorway petrol and diesel averages against non-motorway prices, then compare fuel stops along your journey. A lower pump price is only useful if the extra driving still leaves a saving.
Price noteRoute & Fuel uses reported UK fuel price updates. These figures are national averages, not prices at your next service station. Check individual station prices and their times in the finder, or compare stops in the web route planner.
Motorway averages versus the wider UK market
Motorway service stations can be convenient, but these averages show why an off-route check can be worth doing before a long journey.

wider UK comparisonCompare against non-motorway fuel prices before leaving the route.
These averages describe the wider non-motorway market. They do not measure the price difference at your next junction; compare individual stops and extra driving before leaving the route.
Check whether leaving the motorway saves fuel money.
Motorway service fuel often costs more than nearby stations, but the cheaper option only wins if the detour, extra fuel used, traffic and your planned fill still leave a saving.
Motorway price vs nearby price
Illustrative example: A 10p-per-litre price difference saves £5 on a 50-litre fill before extra driving costs. Compare that potential saving with the detour and time involved.
Extra miles and time matter
A short junction exit can be worth it. A slow urban diversion can wipe out the headline saving.
Check real stations on the journey
Use the web route planner to compare station prices, extra miles and estimated fuel savings. The app adds live traffic checks within your plan allowance.
Before you choose a motorway fuel stop.
Check the station, direction of travel, fuel grade and price time before choosing a stop. UK-wide averages are context; they do not measure the saving at your next junction.
Motorway versus nearby
Use motorway prices as the starting point, then compare nearby alternatives when a detour may pay off.
Live traffic app checks
The app can use TomTom routing data for route and traffic checks, instead of judging purely by station price.
Check access and direction
Confirm the station is accessible from your direction of travel, and check opening hours before planning the stop.
Built for mobile decisionsCompare reported prices and estimated detour fuel costs on the website. The app adds saved prices and offline-friendly checks.
