Data to 18 June 2026
UK Fuel Price Spread Report.
June 2026.
A snapshot of national movement and the difference between larger fuel-brand groups, with the sample sizes and downloadable data included.
Key finding
A chain-level gap can matter, but the route still decides the result
Among brand groups with at least 50 included E10 price reports, Maxol had the lowest mean at 147.7p per litre, while Shell had the highest at 156.0p per litre. The 8.3p gap is worth about £3.74 on a 45-litre fill before any extra driving is counted.
This is not a recommendation to drive to the lowest-average chain. Individual stations vary, and a longer detour can remove the pump saving. Use the local station timestamp and the route-aware calculator before travelling.
Larger brand groups
E10 averages with at least 50 included reports

Method
How this report was built
Freshness
Station records older than seven days were excluded. A lowest recent price required an update within 72 hours.
Large-group comparison
The headline chain comparison required at least 50 included E10 observations to reduce the effect of tiny samples.
Interpretation
Means describe this data snapshot. They do not guarantee the price at every station in a chain or predict tomorrow's price.
