Accepted Answer

Prices are sourced from official UK Government feeds. We collect data daily from all petrol stations across the UK to ensure you receive reliable and verified information.

Question 2

How often are the rates updated?

Our system synchronises data on a daily basis. The counter on the homepage shows you the exact number of updates made during the current day, ensuring that you see the most up-to-date prices possible before you set off.

Question 3

Why is there a price difference between the website and the pump?

Question 7

How can I save more money on my fuel?

Accepted Answer

As well as comparing prices, we recommend keeping an eye out for retailers’ ‘cost-price’ promotions and opting for self-service petrol stations at supermarkets, which generally have lower mark-ups than motorway service stations.

I can't find my usual station. Why is that?

Accepted Answer

The station may be temporarily closed for maintenance work or may not be broadcasting the minimum volume required for statutory reporting purposes. If you notice any omissions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Question 9

Do your data include motorway service stations?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we list petrol stations on the main road network as well as those located at motorway service areas. Please note that the latter are often more expensive; our comparison tool allows you to see whether it’s worth leaving the motorway to fill up.
