Petrol and diesel prices near you
What unleaded, super, diesel and premium diesel cost at the filling stations around you. From a postcode.
01 · Where this comes from
The forecourts have to publish it
Since 2025 every filling station in Great Britain has to publish what it is charging, and keep it current, under a government scheme called Fuel Finder. It exists because the Competition and Markets Authority found drivers were paying more than they needed to simply because nobody could see the prices without driving past them.
This page reads that feed directly. It is not a survey, not a crowd-sourced list and not somebody’s guess — it is what each forecourt has told the government it is charging, with the date it last said so.

02 · Why the prices differ
Ten pence a litre, a mile apart
Two stations on the same road can be ten pence a litre apart, and the gap has very little to do with the oil price. It is competition: a forecourt beside a supermarket prices against the supermarket, and one on a stretch with nothing else nearby does not have to.
Ten pence a litre on a 50-litre tank is five pounds. Filling up forty times a year, that is two hundred pounds for choosing a different junction — which is exactly the number the scheme was created to put in front of people.
Motorway services are the exception worth knowing. They are reliably the dearest fuel in the country, often twenty pence a litre above a supermarket a few miles off the junction, because you have already committed to stopping.
03 · Questions
The usual ones
Is this really free?
Yes, and unlimited. The government publishes the prices and the feed costs us nothing, so it costs you nothing. There is no account to make and nothing to sign up to.
How current are the prices?
Each forecourt is shown with the date and time it last set its price, so you can see for yourself. Most update daily. A price is what the station has published, not what a pump was seen charging — if a forecourt has not updated its feed, this page cannot know that, and the date is the honest way to say so.
What is E10, and can my car take it?
E10 is standard unleaded and has been the default petrol in the UK since 2021 — up to 10% ethanol. Almost every petrol car built since 2011 runs on it. Some older and classic cars should stay on E5, which is sold as super unleaded. The government publishes a checker if you are unsure.
Is premium fuel worth the extra?
For most cars, no. Super unleaded and premium diesel are typically ten to twenty pence a litre more. A handful of high-performance engines are designed for higher octane and say so in the handbook. If yours does not, the ordinary grade is what the manufacturer intended.
Why do you want a postcode instead of my location?
Because a location prompt is a promise about what happens next, and Motorfile would rather not make it. The postcode is turned into a rough map point in your browser, and only that point is sent on. We never receive the postcode and we do not store it.
A station near me is missing.
Only forecourts that publish to the scheme appear. Small independents and some supermarket sites are still being brought in, and a station that has not filed prices has nothing to show. We publish the feed as it stands and never fill in a gap with a guess.
04 · Keeping it
For the car on your driveway
This page reads one place, once. The app remembers where you fill up, shows only the grade your car actually takes, and works out what it is costing you a mile from your own fills. It also carries the MOT history, the tax dates and reminders before either runs out. Free for one car.
