- Possible price errors flagged. Prices that don’t add up, such as premium cheaper than regular or diesel cheaper than unleaded, are marked “possible price error” wherever they appear, and the station’s page explains what looks wrong. Stations that seem to be listed twice are noted too.
- Which fuel brand is cheapest? A sortable league table of today’s average prices by brand, with answers on supermarket fuel and fuel quality. See the table.
- Are petrol stations reporting prices? A daily tracker of stations with out-of-date prices, and why a price can go dormant. See the tracker.

- Brands at a glance. Station tables on town pages and the nearby stations on each station page show the brand badge, link to the brand’s page and can be sorted by any column.
