How we calculated this edition
UK averages use the same eligible station prices as the current fuel dataset, with a maximum age of 28 days for each fuel grade. Reviewed duplicate station identities count once. The contributing stations can change between editions.
Daily changes compare eligible averages from consecutive editions. The contributing stations can change.
Prices are recorded observations, not forecasts. Source data last updated 12 Oct 2026, 15:55 BST. See our sources and editorial policy.
Compare the whole fuel stop
Local pump prices vary. Compare the fuel grade, extra driving and the amount you plan to buy before choosing a stop.
