Live prices from every station we track in the UK — not a national average.
8,157 forecourts are listed in the Fuel Finder register; 3,886 of them have a current price — that is the “Stations tracked” figure. County and town lists are smaller — about 29% of addresses have no town name we can hang a page on.
The spread is the point: what you pay depends far more on which station you pick than on the national average.

Every price here comes from Fuel Finder — DESNZ. Fuel Finder publishes a new price file twice a day, in the morning and in the mid-afternoon (UK time), so overnight the prices are those of the afternoon file. We check for a new file every 30 minutes and show when each station last reported — the most recent refresh was 1h 39min ago.
Because an average hides the spread. Right now the cheapest diesel in the UK is 182.9p and the most expensive is 222.9p — a gap of 40.0p per litre, which is real money on a full tank.
We track 3,886 stations in the UK with live prices across 5 fuel types. Tap any station on the map, or in the table above, for its own page and price history.
