Find the cheapest fuel near you

Compare recently updated petrol and diesel prices from nearby filling stations and see where you could save.

Prices are supplied by participating fuel retailers and may change before you arrive.

Fuel price and forecourt data from the UK government fuel price scheme.

How the fuel price checker works

Enter a postcode, a town, or use your device location, and we find filling stations within your chosen radius. Prices come from the government fuel price scheme, which participating retailers submit to, and are matched to each forecourt. We show the cheapest first, work out the local average, and estimate how much you could save against it.

How often fuel prices are updated

Retailers update their prices through the scheme when they change them on the forecourt, and we refresh our copy throughout the day. Each price carries the time the retailer last changed it, not the time we fetched it, so you can see how current it really is. A price marked older is one the retailer has not changed recently, which usually means it is stable rather than wrong.

Why prices may differ when you arrive

A forecourt can change its price at any time, and there is a short delay between a change on the pump and it reaching the scheme. Treat every price here as a very recent guide rather than a guarantee, especially if it was last updated some time ago. It is always worth checking the totem sign when you pull in.

Petrol versus diesel prices

Unleaded (E10) is the standard petrol at almost every forecourt; super unleaded (E5) is a pricier premium grade. Diesel (B7) usually sits a few pence above or below unleaded depending on wholesale costs and the time of year. Premium diesel costs more again for its additives. Choose the exact grade your car takes, because comparing the wrong grade is the easiest way to misjudge a saving.

Tips for comparing nearby fuel stations

The cheapest forecourt is not always the best value once you factor in the detour to reach it: a saving of a few pence a litre is easily wiped out by the fuel used getting there. Supermarket forecourts are often cheaper but can be busier, and motorway services are almost always dearer. Use the tank-size estimate to see the saving on a full fill, not just per litre, and sort by distance if convenience matters more than a marginal price difference.

Where the data comes from, and its limits

Prices and forecourt details come from the UK government fuel price scheme, which participating retailers submit to. Not every independent forecourt takes part, so a station near you may not appear. We never invent a price, an opening time, or an amenity: if a forecourt has not supplied it, we say so rather than guess. Prices are shown in pence per litre and are a guide, not an offer.

Frequently asked questions

Is the fuel price checker free?
Yes. Searching for fuel prices near you is completely free and needs no account. Signing in lets you save favourite stations for next time.
How accurate are the fuel prices?
Each price is the one the retailer last submitted to the government fuel price scheme, shown with the time they last changed it. Prices can change on the forecourt before the scheme updates, so treat them as a very recent guide rather than a guarantee.
How do I find the cheapest petrol or diesel near me?
Enter your postcode or use your location, choose your fuel grade and a search radius, and we list nearby forecourts cheapest first, with the local average and your potential saving.
What is the difference between E10 and E5 petrol?
E10 is standard unleaded containing up to 10% renewable ethanol, sold at nearly every forecourt. E5 is a premium super unleaded with no more than 5% ethanol and costs more. Most petrol cars run on E10.
Why is a nearby station not shown?
Only forecourts that take part in the government fuel price scheme appear. Some independent stations do not submit prices, so they will not show up here even if they are close.
