How we check prices
Our prices come from the government's Fuel Finder scheme. This page explains how we keep what you see accurate.
Every price shows when it last changed
The time next to each price is when the forecourt changed it, not when we last looked. A price that hasn't moved in a while isn't necessarily wrong: plenty of forecourts hold a price for a week or two. You can see how old it is and decide for yourself.
- Changed in the last 3 days
- Not changed for 3 to 14 days
- Not changed for 14 to 30 days
- Not changed for more than 30 days. Still shown, but faded, and left out of the cheapest lists and the averages.
Prices that can't be right
Now and then a forecourt reports a price that's obviously a typo, like diesel at 13.9p a litre. We don't show a price under 90p or over 350p, or one that's far out of line with the UK average for that fuel. The forecourt still appears, with a note saying the price looks wrong.
A price more than 10% below the middle price of at least 5 forecourts within 5 miles is shown, but marked as unusually low. It might be a genuine offer or a typing error, so it isn't counted as the cheapest or in any average. Real bargains, even at Costco, rarely sit more than 8% below their neighbours.

EV charging
A charger shows on a forecourt's page when it's within 150 metres. Each one shows when its details were last confirmed. Check the operator's app to see whether it's free and working before you rely on it.
Shops and other facilities
Where we show a shop, a cash machine, HGV access or wheelchair access, it comes from the brand. If one isn't listed, we don't know, rather than it isn't there.
What we can't tell you
Not every brand publishes its facilities, so some forecourts will have a shop or cash machine we don't show. Air and screenwash are reported together, and car washes aren't split into automatic and jet wash.
Spotted a wrong price?
Each forecourt is responsible for the prices it reports. You can report a wrong price to the government through Fuel Finder.
