The weekly change compares the same 251 filling stations with an unleaded price on both days, so a station dropping out of the figures does not move it.
372 of the 812 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.
The cheapest unleaded in Scotland on Sunday 11 October 2026 was 161.9p at Barrhill Garage, Cumnock (KA18 1PW); the most expensive was 209.9p at Mackenzie Stores, Portree (IV51 9JS), a gap of 48.0p, or £24.00 on a 50-litre tank.
The cheapest diesel was 175.0p at Papay Community Cooperative, Orkney (KW17 2BU).
Across the UK, unleaded was down 0.4p over the same week, at 174.1p, which puts Scotland 0.9p above the national average.
Among the towns of Scotland, unleaded fell most in Isle of Lewis (down 1.9p to 176.4p), Ayr (down 1.0p to 171.2p), East Kilbride (down 1.0p to 174.6p) and rose most in Dumfries (up 0.8p to 176.4p), Glasgow (up 0.5p to 176.0p), Dunfermline (up 0.3p to 178.2p).
"Drivers in Scotland paid 0.2p less for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £0.10 less than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Scotland is 48.0p, 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 Scotland, 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.
