Where our data comes from

Every price on this site comes from data the fuel retailers themselves publish. Nothing is crowdsourced, estimated or scraped from photos of forecourt totems.

The Fuel Finder scheme

Since 2 February 2026, UK petrol stations have been legally required to publish their pump prices under the Motor Fuel Price (Open Data) Regulations 2025. Each forecourt must report any price change to the government's designated aggregator within 30 minutes. That scheme is called Fuel Finder and it covers around 7,400 stations.

The data is open to anyone under the Open Government Licence v3.0. We are connecting this site to the full statutory feed; until that is live, we use the open price feeds that several retailers still publish directly from the earlier voluntary scheme.

Feeds we currently use

How often prices refresh

We fetch each feed every 30 minutes and drop any feed that has stopped updating for more than 48 hours, so a stale price never sits on the page dressed up as a live one. Every page shows when its data was last fetched.

What the data can and cannot tell you

Prices are pence per litre for standard grades: E10 unleaded, E5 super unleaded, B7 diesel and SDV super diesel. A price can change at the pump a few minutes before it changes in the data, so treat the totem as the final word. Some stations price differently at the kiosk for account holders or fuel cards; the published figure is the standard drive-up price.

Licensing

Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Retailer names belong to their owners; this is an independent price comparison site with no affiliation to any fuel retailer or to the government.
