All the steps
Find cheaper fuel
Search, filter and compare nearby stations.
How do I find cheaper fuel?
Enter your location
Type a postcode, town or city in Location. Birmingham is our example. Then choose Fuel Price List.
You can also use the crosshair to request your current location.
Choose your fuel
Tap Filter, choose your fuel type and scroll for distance, brands and amenities. Tap Apply Filters when ready.
Put the cheapest first
In the results, tap Price. Use Distance to see nearby stations first, or Freshness to prioritise recently reported prices.
The lowest price is only useful if it is still current.
Check when prices were reported
Choose Last 24 hrs or Last 3 days to hide older reports. Read the freshness badge before setting off.
Screenshots are examples, not live prices.
