339 of the 582 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.

The cheapest diesel was 179.9p at Top Stewartstown Road, Belfast (BT11 9NB).

Across the UK, unleaded was up 1.7p over the same week, at 173.7p, which puts Northern Ireland 5.9p below the national average.

The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Northern Ireland is 25.0p, so where you fill up still matters more than when." said Jacky A., editor of fuelpricetoday.co.uk.

How the figures are computed

Each average is the mean of the prices changed in the last 7 days at the filling stations of Northern Ireland, motorway services left out and prices more than 25p from the day's median discarded. The cheapest and most expensive stations are judged against the stations within 10 km, so that a typing error cannot top the list. The week runs from Monday to Sunday. Details on how this site works.
