PetrolSavings helps UK drivers find cheaper petrol and diesel without guesswork. Start with postcode search when you need the fastest answer, or use our county pages to explore regional coverage, browse brand comparisons to see how supermarkets and oil companies stack up, and open our UK price map for a broader national view. Every route is designed to keep freshness and trust signals visible so you can judge whether a low price is still worth the stop.
When you want more than the nearest pump price, our fuel calculators help you weigh journey cost, savings, and efficiency, while landmark pages make it easier to find fuel near airports, stations, stadiums, and other common stops. The goal is simple: give you one place to compare the cheapest nearby option, the nearest open station, or the detour that saves money overall.
How it works
Find the cheapest nearby option, check which station is actually open, and decide whether a short detour is worth it.

Common questions about fuel prices, how we source data, and how to get the most from PetrolSavings.
No account is required. You can search stations, compare prices, browse routes, and use all calculators for free without signing in.
Yes. You can search by postcode for nearby stations, then explore wider county and town pages to compare options in a broader area.
We cover unleaded, diesel, and premium grades where data is available. Not every station reports every fuel type, so availability can vary by location.
We refresh prices as new data arrives from our sources. Every price includes a freshness label so you can see exactly how recent it is – whether that'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.
E10 contains up to 10% ethanol and is slightly cheaper. E5 (super unleaded) 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 forecourts, 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.
Yes. We only use your location to find stations near you, and we don't keep your exact location once your search is done.
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.
