WHAT THE NUMBER MEANS
Average UK pump prices are a benchmark, not a local quote
The figures above are weekly UK averages. They are useful for planning a journey when you do not yet know the exact station you will use, but actual prices vary by location, brand and forecourt.
For a more specific figure, use the nearby fuel price search and enter the pump price you expect to pay into the journey calculator.
Why petrol and diesel prices differ
The gap between petrol and diesel changes over time. A higher diesel price does not automatically make a diesel car more expensive to run, because fuel economy also matters. Use the petrol-versus-diesel calculator to compare both factors together.
