Frequently asked questions
How often are fuel prices updated?
Every forecourt reporting to the Fuel Finder scheme must report price changes within 30 minutes, so prices shown here reflect that near-real-time reporting rather than a daily or weekly snapshot.
Is this official data?
Yes. All prices come from HM Government's Fuel Finder open data scheme, which every fuel retailer in the UK is required to report to. We don't edit or estimate prices — they're shown as published.
