The weekly change compares the same 6,778 filling stations with an unleaded price on both days, so a station dropping out of the figures does not move it.

3,244 of the 8,121 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.

The cheapest unleaded in the UK on Sunday 25 October 2026 was 155.9p at G E M Retailing Ltd Ta Steady Eddies, Dromore (BT25 2NR); the most expensive was 209.9p at Mackenzie Stores, Portree (IV51 9JS), a gap of 54.0p, or £27.00 on a 50-litre tank.

The cheapest diesel was 175.9p at Coole Oils, Newry (BT35 9LN).

Among the towns of the UK, unleaded fell most in Smethwick (down 9.7p to 174.6p), Wigton (down 4.7p to 173.1p), Wellington (down 4.0p to 170.9p) and rose most in Bootle (up 1.3p to 171.7p), Burgess Hill (up 1.0p to 171.9p), Southend-on-sea (up 0.8p to 173.4p).

"Drivers in the UK paid 0.7p less for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £0.35 less than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in the UK is 54.0p, 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 30 days at the filling stations of the UK, 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.
