Diesel price FAQs
What is the average diesel price in the UK today?
The average UK diesel (B7) price today is 198.2p per litre. It covers every station that has reported a diesel price to the government fuel price API within the last 7 days; prices outside the plausible 80p to 350p per litre range are excluded as data errors.
Why is diesel more expensive than petrol?
Diesel typically costs more at UK pumps because of higher wholesale costs, refining demand for heating oil (which competes for the same distillate), and duty structure. The gap widens in winter.
How often are these prices updated?
Retailers must publish price changes to the government feed, and FillitUp polls it every 30 minutes. Every price shows when the station reported it.
