Fuel Prices in Northern Ireland
Live petrol and diesel across Belfast, Lisburn, Derry/Londonderry, Newry and the wider region.
Fuel prices across Northern Ireland are not uniform, and treating the region as a single number hides the thing that actually saves you money — the 10p per litre gap that can exist between two forecourts within the same postcode area.
Northern Ireland has historically been one of the cheaper parts of the UK for fuel, with a dense network of independent and forecourt-led retailers competing hard, particularly along the border where cross-border pricing matters.
