UK Petrol And Diesel Fuel Prices
Why Comparing Petrol & Diesel Prices Matters
With prices varying by as much as 10 15p per litre between different stations, sometimes within the same postcode, finding cheap petrol and diesel prices in the UK has never been more important due to the crisis and war in the Middle East, which is having a serious impact on the overall price and availability of fuel in the UK
For the average UK driver covering around 7,400 miles a year, choosing the right forecourt consistently could save well over £100 annually. That’s money that stays in your wallet, not on the forecourt.
Fuel retailers set their own prices independently, meaning supermarket forecourts, motorway service stations, and independent garages can all vary dramatically. Our tool gives you an at-a-glance view of every station near you, ranked by price, so you always know where the cheapest fuel prices> are right now.
How Our Fuel Price Finder Works
We pull live petrol price data directly from UK forecourts, updated continuously throughout the day. Unlike comparison sites that rely on user-submitted prices, which can be hours or days out of date, our data is sourced independently, so you’re always seeing accurate, real-time prices.
UK petrol prices are influenced by several factors: the global crude oil price, the pound-to-dollar exchange rate, the UK fuel duty rate (currently 52.95p per litre, frozen since 2022), and VAT at 20%. On top of these fixed costs, retailers add their own margin and this is where the difference between the cheapest and most expensive local forecourt comes from.
Supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Sainsbury’s, and Morrisons typically offer some of the cheapest fuel prices in the UK thanks to high volume and the ability to use fuel as a loss leader to drive footfall. Motorway service stations, by contrast, often charge a significant premium, sometimes 15–20p per litre more than nearby town-centre alternatives.
Knowing these patterns is useful, but nothing beats checking live fuel prices near you before heading to the pump. That’s exactly what our finder is built to do.
How often are fuel prices updated?
Our price data is updated continuously throughout the day. Most stations update at least once every 30 minutes, and many large forecourts push price changes in near real-time.
Which UK petrol station is cheapest right now
It depends on your location. Supermarket forecourts, particularly Asda, Tesco, and Morrisons, tend to offer the cheapest petrol prices in most areas, but local independents can also be competitive. Use our search to find the best price within your chosen radius.
Does the tool cover diesel prices, too
Yes. You can search for diesel, super unleaded, and premium diesel prices on the website too.
We aim to provide you with access to the latest diesel prices, shown alongside every station listing, so that you can easily compare fuel prices on the same page, which will help to make the right decision.
Is the fuel price data truly independent?
Yes. We are not affiliated with any fuel retailer, oil company, or supermarket chain. Our data is sourced independently, and we are never paid to promote any particular forecourt. Our only goal is to help UK drivers find the cheapest fuel available to them.
Why do fuel prices vary so much across the UK?
Regional competition, local demand, proximity to supply depots, and individual retailer pricing strategies all play a role. Urban areas with many forecourts close together tend to have more competitive prices, while rural areas with fewer options often see higher prices. You also have geo-factors such as the war in the Middle East, which will have a major impact on the prices of fuel in the UK.
