UK Fuel Prices FAQs
Why is diesel more expensive than petrol?
Diesel is typically more expensive than petrol due to the more complex refining process needed to produce diesel from crude oil. The additional complexity adds time and therefore cost to the process. Diesel also contains slightly more energy per litre than petrol and taxes on diesel are often higher than those on petrol in many countries.
Is Premium fuel worth it?
For most modern vehicles designed to run on regular unleaded petrol, premium fuel often isn’t necessary and provides very little to no increased performance or fuel economy benefits. For high-performance cars that specifically require or recommend premium fuel, using it can help prevent engine knocking and ensure the vehicle runs at peak efficiency.
How is fuel taxed?
Fuel taxes make up a significant portion of what you pay at the pump. In the UK, fuel duty is a fixed amount per litre which is set by the Government and on top of that you pay 20% VAT.
Fuel duty is levied per unit purchased and included in the pump price you pay.
The main fuel duty rates at March 2024 are:
Standard Petrol & Diesel: 52.95 pence per litre (includes a temporary 5p cut extended to 2024-25)
Biodiesel & Bioethanol: Same 52.95p per litre rate
Liquefied Petroleum Gas: 28.88 pence per kilogram
Natural Gas Vehicle Fuel: 22.57 pence per kilogram
Heating Oil: 9.78 pence per litre
On top of the fuel duty, you also pay 20% VAT calculated on both the pre-tax fuel price and the duty amount itself. So for a litre of petrol, the pump price factors in:
The pre-tax petrol cost
52.95p fuel duty
20% VAT on #1
20% VAT on the 52.95p duty (#2)
This multi-layer taxation represents a significant portion of what motorists pay when refuelling petrol or diesel vehicles in the UK.
Why do fuel prices vary by location?
Fuel costs can differ from place to place due to factors like transport costs, local taxes, operating costs for vendors, and supply/demand dynamics in a given area. Prices tend to be higher in rural areas where fewer vendors exist compared to cities with more competition among petrol stations.

Petrol and diesel prices can vary a lot, even within a small area. They can also fluctuate daily, so use our fuel prices map to save money every time you fill up by knowing where you can find the cheapest fuel. Check before you leave the house or on the go – it’s simple!
How frequently do uk fuel pump prices update?
The frequency of pump price changes at petrol stations depends on fluctuations in wholesale fuel costs and how quickly retailers adjust their prices in response. In theory, retailers can modify their prices as often as they’d like to reflect any significant and sustained increases or decreases in wholesale petrol and diesel rates.
In practice, the retail fuel market tends to follow the lead of major supermarket chains. Even though they operate just 16% of UK forecourts, supermarkets account for a staggering 44% of total fuel sales volume. Buying cycles between retailer and fuel suppliers also impact the price of fuel. Frequent purchases can adjust their retail prices faster whereas smaller independent fuel stations may be less agile in their pricing a they replenish their stocks less frequently.
So while retailers technically can change prices at any time, market factors like supermarket pricing power and refuelling cycles mean consumers usually see “waves” of nationwide pump price updates rather than daily adjustments at every station.
