Thanks for £1
The average litre of E10 petrol at British forecourts costs 170p and B7 diesel 198.1p, calculated across 8087 forecourts nationwide on 7 November 2026.
What changed over the week
Petrol is down by 2.1p and diesel down by 0.6p. On a 55-litre tank that is about £1.15 for petrol and £0.31 for diesel.
Where it is cheaper and dearer
Among the larger cities Belfast has the cheapest petrol at 159.9p a litre on average, while Liverpool is the dearest at 169.9p — a gap of 10p a litre.
How much choosing the forecourt saves
Within a single city the gap between cheaper and dearer forecourts reaches 16.6p a litre, widest in Liverpool. On a full tank that is £9.13 — more than waiting for prices to fall. One forecourt in twenty sells petrol below 158.9p a litre.
Where these figures come from
We take the government Fuel Finder dataset — the scheme forecourts must report their prices to — and keep a snapshot every day. Neither Google nor Fuel Finder itself stores history, so the week-on-week comparison comes from our own archive. Snapshot of 07/11/2026 06:51:00. This article is assembled automatically from that data: every figure is computed, not retold.

How this is calculated, and reuse
Prices come from Fuel Finder, the government scheme forecourts must report to, cross-checked against the retailers' own open feeds. We keep a snapshot of all 8087 forecourts every day: neither Fuel Finder nor the search engines keep history, so a week-on-week comparison is only possible from our own archive. Snapshot: 07/11/2026 06:51:00.
