Petrol Price Today
The current petrol price at every UK station — not averages, actual pump prices.
When people ask "what's the petrol price?" they usually mean one of two things: the national average, or what they'll actually pay at their local station. The national average is interesting for headlines, but it doesn't tell you much about your specific options.
fuelfinder.ai shows you real pump prices at individual stations. Over 8,000 of them, in fact, spread across every part of the UK. The data is sourced from the CMA's open data programme — no estimates, no rounding, just the actual figures retailers have reported.
The average UK petrol price fluctuates, but the spread between the cheapest and priciest station in any given area tends to stay wide. That gap is where your savings live.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the average petrol price in the UK today?
The average changes daily, but fuelfinder.ai shows individual station prices rather than averages. This is more useful because the cheapest station near you could easily be 8-12p below the national average.
What makes up the price of petrol?
Roughly 53p is fuel duty, then 20% VAT is added on top. The rest is split between the wholesale cost of the fuel itself and the retailer's margin, which is typically 5-10p per litre.
Is E10 petrol cheaper than E5?
Yes, E10 (the standard grade) is typically 8-12p cheaper per litre than E5 (super unleaded). E10 contains up to 10% ethanol and is suitable for the vast majority of cars made after 2011.
Where can I find the cheapest petrol in the UK?
Supermarket forecourts are usually the cheapest in any given area. But the only way to know for certain in your postcode is to check fuelfinder.ai — we sort every station by price.
How has the petrol price changed this year?
Prices fluctuate with global oil markets and exchange rates. Rather than tracking the national average, focus on what your local stations charge — that's the number that actually affects your wallet.
