Motorway forecourts charge 19.1p a litre more
That is £10.51 on a 55-litre fill, measured today across 160 motorway forecourts against 7,488 everywhere else.
What this is
Since February 2026 every filling station in Britain has been legally required to publish its prices, and to report a change within 30 minutes of it happening at the pump. That data is free for anyone to use. This site is what it looks like when somebody checks it.
We do two things nobody else bothers with. We throw away prices that have gone stale, because a figure nobody has updated in a month is not what you would pay today. And we publish the underlying numbers on every page, so you never have to take our word for any of it.
