Frequently asked questions

Where do your prices come from?

From the UK government's Fuel Finder service. Every petrol station in the UK has to report price changes within 30 minutes, and we download the latest prices every 5 minutes.

How up to date are the prices?

We fetch the latest prices from Fuel Finder every 5 minutes, and each price shows when the forecourt last updated it. Prices can change at any time, so the pump price is always the one that counts.

Why is a petrol station missing?

A station appears once it is registered with Fuel Finder and has reported a price. Closed stations and stations with an invalid location are left out.

A price is wrong. What should I do?

Prices come from the forecourt itself. Report it on the official Fuel Finder "Report a discrepancy" page (linked on every station page and in the footer), and let us know through the contact page too.

Do you store my location?

No. When you tap "Use my location" your browser shares it with this page only, and the search happens on your device. If you type a postcode, it is looked up with the free postcodes.io service. See our privacy policy for details.

Is the site free?

Yes. It is paid for by advertising, and adverts never affect which stations appear or the order they are shown in.

What is the difference between E10 and E5?

E10 is standard unleaded with up to 10% ethanol; E5 is super unleaded with up to 5%. Read our E10 vs E5 guide for which to choose.

Do you show electric car charging prices?

Not yet. We currently cover unleaded, super unleaded, diesel and premium diesel.
