How much choosing the forecourt saves

Within a single city the gap between cheaper and dearer forecourts reaches 19p a litre, widest in Belfast. On a full tank that is £10.45 — more than waiting for prices to fall. One forecourt in twenty sells petrol below 154.9p 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 11/11/2026 06:49:12. This article is assembled automatically from that data: every figure is computed, not retold.

Prices by city

Median price, pence per litre. Cities are grouped by postcode area; the median is steadier than the mean against a single bad reading.

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 8090 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.
