How the figures are made
We don't survey, estimate or model prices. We report what retailers publish to the government scheme, and say exactly how we handle it.
- Source
- The UK Government Fuel Finder scheme, which requires forecourts to report their pump prices within 30 minutes of any change.
- How often we update
- We pull the full feed every 15 minutes, covering over 8,000 forecourts across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
- Averages
- Petrol means E10 unleaded and diesel means B7. Averages are the simple mean of every forecourt reporting a valid price for that fuel.
- Exclusions
- Prices below 100p or above 250p a litre are treated as reporting errors and left out, as are stations with no location data.
- Regions
- Stations are assigned to England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland by postcode area.
- Freshness
- Every station on the site shows when its price was last reported, so readers can see how current each figure is.
