How we work out these averagesHow we work out these averages
Each area's average uses the latest price at each of its stations, from prices updated in the last 7 days. Prices we're less sure about, such as unconfirmed reports, are left out.
Areas with fewer than 10 stations are marked "Few stations": one garage changing its price can move their average a lot, so they're left out of the cheapest and most expensive lists (they still appear in the full ranking).
99 of 112 areas have prices from the last 7 days; the others are shown with dashed outlines on the map. 112 areas have at least some prices, including older ones.

Averages are a guide, not the price you'll pay. Check each station's own price, and when it last changed, before you set off.
Why do prices vary by region?
For unleaded, there's a 13.9p a litre gap between the cheapest area, Mid Ulster, and the most expensive, Northamptonshire: about £6.26 on a 45-litre fill-up. Greater London averages 173.6p/L, 0.1p above the national average of 173.5p/L.
Local competition, distance from fuel distribution depots, and traffic patterns all influence what drivers pay, so prices can differ noticeably between neighbouring areas.
Area averages use recent prices only, and areas with just a few stations can move a lot from day to day, so check a station's own price before you set off.
