Prices are in pence per litre (p/L). "Most stations charge" is what the middle half of stations charge. The lowest price leaves out any more than 15% below the middle price, as these are usually typing mistakes. Premium fuels are sold at fewer stations (super unleaded 6,334, premium diesel 4,240). Always check how recent a price is before you travel.

How it works

Find cheaper fuel in three simple steps

Each step matches a part of the station cards you'll see in your results.

  1. Search your area

    Enter a postcode, town or brand. Results start with the cheapest, marked Cheapest.

  2. Check it's fresh and open

    Every price shows when it last changed, and whether the station is open now.

  3. Weigh up the drive, then go

    Compare the distance and drive time with the price, then tap Get directions.

Common questions about fuel prices, how we source data, and how to get the most from Petrol Savings.

No account is required. You can search stations, compare prices, browse routes, and use all calculators for free without signing in.

Yes. Type a postcode, town or city into the search box, or use "Use my location". You can also browse county and town pages to compare stations across a wider area.

We cover unleaded (E10), super unleaded (E5), diesel (B7) and premium diesel, plus B10 diesel, HVO and LPG where stations sell them. Not every station reports every fuel type, so availability varies by location.

We check our sources for new prices every 5 minutes. Stations report their own price changes, so how up to date a price is depends on the station: every price shows when it last changed, so you can see whether it's hours, days or weeks old.

Prices come from official UK sources, including Fuel Finder station submissions and GOV.UK weekly averages. Prices can still change at any time, so always check the freshness label and confirm at the pump.

Several factors affect pricing, including local competition, whether it's a supermarket or branded station, and whether the site is in a higher-cost location such as a motorway route.

Unleaded (E10) contains up to 10% ethanol and is usually cheaper. Super unleaded (E5) has up to 5% ethanol and may suit older vehicles. Check your car's handbook if you're unsure which to use.

Yes, we include stations across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – including supermarket petrol stations, major oil company brands, and motorway services.

Petrol and diesel are taxed the same in the UK (the same fuel duty per litre, plus 20% VAT), so the gap comes from the wholesale price and retailer margins. Diesel is in high demand from lorries, farming and industry, and the UK imports much of the diesel it uses, so world supply problems push its price up faster. Retailers have also sometimes been slower to pass on falling diesel costs.

No. All petrol and diesel sold in the UK must meet the same standards (BS EN 228 for petrol and BS EN 590 for diesel), whether you buy it at a supermarket or a branded station, and much of it comes from the same suppliers. The main difference is the additives each company blends in, especially in premium fuels. Always use the fuel grade your car's handbook recommends.

We only use your location to find stations near you, and we don't keep a profile of your searches. Your postcode or coordinates can appear in the page address and our short-term server logs. See our privacy policy for details.

Petrol Savings is free to use. Some pages show adverts, and we may earn a small commission if you use certain partner links. Adverts and commissions never affect how we rank stations, which station gets a badge, or the prices we show.

Absolutely. Use the contact page to share ideas or report issues, and include the page or calculator you were using so we can investigate quickly.
