Methodology and freshness checks
Regional rankings use stations with fresh and aging updates first. Regions without enough recent data are flagged, so you can avoid over-trusting thin samples.
Averages are comparative indicators, not guaranteed fill-up prices. Use each county or district page to confirm station-level timestamps and confidence before travelling.
Tip: Tap a region on the map or a row in the rankings to select it, then open its county or district page.

Why do prices vary by region?
Local competition, distance from distribution depots, and traffic patterns all influence what drivers pay. Looking for the cheapest petrol areas UK or asking why is fuel expensive in London? Our regional breakdown highlights the biggest swings.
Regional averages are calculated from stations with recent, verified updates. Counties and NI districts with limited recent data can move faster day to day, so always check the latest station-level timestamps before relying on a single area average.
