Price of Fuel Near Me
Get the actual price at every station around you — no more guessing at the pump.
Knowing the price of fuel before you drive there sounds obvious, but until recently it was surprisingly hard to do. You'd either check one brand's website, rely on word of mouth, or just go to the nearest one and hope for the best.
fuelfinder.ai fixes that. We aggregate prices from the UK government's CMA open data programme — the same initiative that forced retailers to publish what they charge. Over 8,000 stations are covered, from Shell and BP down to your local independent.
Search once, see everything. Prices for unleaded, diesel, and premium grades at every forecourt within a few miles of wherever you are. Sorted from cheapest to most expensive, because that's what matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What affects the price of fuel near me?
Wholesale oil prices, fuel duty (currently 52.95p/litre), VAT at 20%, and the retailer's margin. Local competition plays a big role too — areas with more stations tend to have lower prices.
Is the price of fuel the same across the UK?
Not at all. Rural areas and motorways tend to be pricier. Cities with lots of supermarket forecourts are usually cheaper. Northern Ireland often has slightly different pricing due to separate supply chains.
How can I track fuel price changes over time?
Each station on fuelfinder.ai has a price history chart. Tap on any station to see how its prices have shifted over recent days.
Why is fuel so expensive in the UK compared to other countries?
Tax is the main reason. Around 60% of what you pay at the pump is fuel duty and VAT. The actual cost of the fuel itself is only about 40% of the total price.
