How much Esso forecourts differ from each other

The same brand is not the same price. Between its cheapest and dearest forecourt Esso varies by 47.0p a litre, which is £25.85 on a 55-litre tank. Brand tells you something about price, but not as much as location does.

On the motorway

Esso has 18 forecourts at motorway service areas, averaging 187.5p against 168.5p at its 1383 other sites. That is a motorway premium of +18.9p a litre, or £10.39 on a 55-litre tank.

Forecourts whose prices are out of date are left out of this table. A price that has not moved in months looks identical to a bargain, and listing one as cheapest would be the opposite of useful.

Out-of-date prices at Esso

37 Esso forecourts have not submitted a price in over 14 days, despite the legal duty to keep the government feed current. They are excluded from the tables above and listed on the stale price index. An old report is not proof of anything on its own, but it does mean the figure should not be treated as today's.

Where this comes from

Every figure is from the prices Esso forecourts are legally required to submit to the government Fuel Finder scheme, read as at 2026-11-10. Nothing here is estimated or modelled. Download the underlying data or read how this site works.
