Esso petrol stations and fuel prices

Esso averages 175.6p a litre for unleaded E10 across 1439 UK forecourts, above the national average of 174.9p by 0.7p. It ranks 34 of 46 brands, where 1 is cheapest.

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 38.0p a litre, which is £20.90 on a 55-litre tank. Brand tells you something about price, but not as much as location does.

On the motorway

Esso has 13 forecourts at motorway service areas, averaging 192.0p against 175.4p at its 1347 other sites. That is a motorway premium of +16.6p a litre, or £9.13 on a 55-litre tank.

The cheapest Esso forecourts

Forecourts whose prices are out of date are left out of this table.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.

The dearest Esso forecourts

Esso in each region

Regions are the ONS regions of each forecourt's postcode. Regions with fewer than three reporting Esso forecourts are left out.

Esso against the other big brands, town by town

Only towns where both brands have a forecourt reporting a current price, so location is taken out of the comparison. All the big brands compared.

Out-of-date prices at Esso

78 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 2026-10-04. Nothing here is estimated or modelled. Download the underlying data or read how this site works.
