UK fuel prices are dominated by supermarket forecourts (Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, Sainsbury’s) which set national benchmarks — typically the cheapest option.
Taxes
Fuel duty of 52.95 p/L plus 20% VAT. Duty has been frozen since 2011 with a temporary 5p cut still in place.
When prices dip
Supermarkets adjust prices on Tuesdays and Fridays — check before weekend travel.
Tips
- Supermarket forecourts beat motorway services by 15–25 p per litre.
- Smaller independent forecourts in Northern Ireland can be cheaper than mainland averages.
- Premium unleaded (E5) is now ~10 p more than standard E10.
