Petrol price FAQs
What is the average petrol price in the UK today?
The average UK unleaded (E10) price today is 173.1p per litre. It covers every station that has reported an unleaded 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 supermarket petrol cheaper?
Supermarkets use fuel as a footfall driver and typically price 3–5p per litre below nearby branded stations. The cheapest station in most towns is usually an Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons or Costco forecourt.
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.
