This tool uses prices and information provided by the government’s Fuel Finder service and may therefore be subject to inaccuracies or delays outside our control.

Prices can vary significantly even within a small area. One station might be several pence per litre cheaper than another just a few miles away, so checking before you fill up is a quick and simple way to save money.

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 9th 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.

How can I save money on my car fuel?

You can reduce your fuel costs by driving efficiently and planning ahead.

Simple ways to save include:

  • Maintain your vehicle – properly inflated tyres and regular servicing improve efficiency

  • Drive smoothly, avoiding harsh acceleration and braking

  • Plan your journeys and combine trips where possible

  • Avoid idling and turn off your engine when stationary

  • Reduce excess weight in your car

  • Use the correct gear for your speed

  • Consider car sharing for regular journeys

  • Compare pump prices before filling up

How can MoneySuperMarket help drivers save money?
