Fuel prices
Enter a postcode and we will show where fuel is cheapest nearby — and whether the detour pays off. Prices come from the government’s Fuel Finder scheme: forecourts must report any price change within 30 minutes.
Prices on this page come from the government Fuel Finder snapshot of 09.11.2026 15:50 London time. Data delivered via fuelcosts.co.uk.
For your own area, enter a postcode above: we will show the cheapest forecourt nearby and work out whether the detour pays off. The national average is 169.0 p.
Where the figures come from
Since February 2026 every forecourt in the United Kingdom must report its prices to the government’s Fuel Finder scheme, overseen by the Competition and Markets Authority. We take the data from there and show it as it is: nothing averaged, nothing “adjusted”. The date next to a forecourt is the day it last CHANGED its price, not the day we downloaded it: if the price has not moved for a week, that is still the price.
In the database: 8,091 forecourts across the United Kingdom. The most recent price change in the download is 09.11.2026, 15:50. We refresh the data daily; most forecourts change their prices less often than once a week.
Postcodes are turned into coordinates through postcodes.io, open data from the Office for National Statistics. We do not store your postcode or pass it to anyone.
The price on the board can differ from the feed: retailers do not update instantly, and loyalty discounts are not in the feed. Before driving across town for two pence a litre, work out whether the detour pays for itself.
We take Fuel Finder data directly, so we see every forecourt in the country rather than a few chains: over eight thousand sites, supermarkets and motorway services included. Loyalty discounts and promotions are not part of the scheme, so the price on the board can differ.
Today's national average: E10 petrol 169.0p (down 2.8p on the week); B7 diesel 197.7p (down 0.9p on the week) — calculated across 7,562 forecourts nationwide.
These figures are compiled by ONLYWAY NEWS from the UK Government’s Fuel Finder open data across every forecourt in the country. We also keep a price history that neither Fuel Finder nor Google holds. Journalists and websites are free to reproduce our figures with a link to onlyway.news.
