Frequently Asked Questions

Fuel prices on Fuel Near You are updated every 15 minutes using data from the official UK Government Fuel Finder scheme. This means you always see the most current prices available from participating retailers.

We cover over 6,700 petrol stations across the United Kingdom, including major brands like Shell, BP, Esso, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons, as well as independent retailers.

All fuel price data comes from the UK Government Fuel Finder scheme, which requires major fuel retailers to report their pump prices. This is an official government initiative to help consumers find the cheapest fuel.

Enter your postcode or city name on our homepage or map page, select your fuel type (petrol or diesel), and choose a search radius. We'll show you the cheapest stations nearby, sorted by price. You can also use the "Use my location" button for automatic location detection.
