What are current UK fuel prices?

The average UK fuel price was £1.36 per litre for petrol and £1.49 per litre for diesel for the week starting 9^th March 2026, according to UK government data.

But the price you personally pay can vary depending on where you are, the type of petrol station you use and how much local competition there is.

Motorway service stations and urban areas tend to be more expensive, while supermarkets and areas with multiple nearby petrol stations are often cheaper. Using a postcode-based comparison tool is one of the easiest ways to find the best price near you.

Why should I compare petrol prices?

Comparing petrol or diesel prices is a quick and simple way to reduce your fuel costs. Prices can vary widely between stations in the same area, so taking a few seconds to check before filling up can help you avoid paying more than necessary.

Even small price differences can add up over time. If you fill up a 60-litre tank every week and save 5p a litre, you would save £156 a year on your fuel costs.
