Fuel prices, how and why they change
The prices on our website are the latest petrol, diesel and liquid petroleum gas (LPG) prices across supermarket and independent forecourts in the UK.
They are updated at least daily where data is available. Data is provided without warranty.
Pump prices fluctuate when there are significant and sustained increases or reductions in the wholesale price of petrol or diesel. Fuel retailers can reflect these savings as often or as infrequently as they deem necessary.
The reality is that the UK retail of carbon fuel market tends to be led by the supermarkets. Despite only having around 16% of UK forecourts, they are responsible for approximately 44% of total petrol, LPG and diesel fuel sales. Therefore we often see widespread fluctuations of the cost of fuel being passed on at the pumps at the same time.
Another factor which affects when forecourt prices are changed is how frequently retailers buy their fuel. Retailers who use greater quantities tend to buy more frequently and they therefore tend to alter their prices quicker.

Why do cost of fuel prices vary by different area?
Sometimes the variation can be quite dramatically different and therefore its always useful to have www.costoffuel.co.uk in your favourites to check where you can make a fuel saving.
Fuel prices do vary from region to region and even in towns that are only a few miles apart.
Sometimes fuel can be cheaper in a more rural location than in an urban one.
Local retail dynamics also play a part in determining the cost of fuel at the pump. Local prices are very much determined by the presence of supermarkets, keen to compete on price, or an independent forecourt retailer that is determined to offer the cheapest fuel.
If local supermarkets selling fuel don’t compete strongly on price this can lead to drivers paying more.
While delivery costs tend to no longer play a major part in the overall pump price, sometimes higher distances from fuel distribution terminals to the forecourt can have a significant effect on prices in rural locations.
It is for this reason the Government took action to help some of the country’s most rural communities where the price of fuel is deemed to be negatively affecting residents.
In 2012 it introduced a 5p rural fuel duty discount in the Inner and Outer Hebrides, the Northern Isles, and the Isles of Scilly. In March 2015 this was extended to 10 rural mainland communities
