The weekly change compares the same 26 filling stations with an unleaded price on both days, so a station dropping out of the figures does not move it.
34 of the 44 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.
The cheapest unleaded in Leicester on Sunday 27 September 2026 was 166.9p at Costco Wholesale Leicester, Leicester (LE4 8PH), members only; the most expensive was 179.9p at Asda Browns Blue Express Petrol, Leicester (LE67 9PU), a gap of 13.0p, or £6.50 on a 50-litre tank.
The cheapest diesel was 187.9p at Our Coop Coventry Road, Leicester (LE16 9BZ).
Across the UK, unleaded was up 1.7p over the same week, at 173.7p, which puts Leicester 0.6p above the national average.
"Drivers in Leicester paid 1.2p more for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £0.60 more than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Leicester is 13.0p, 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 Leicester, 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.
