Understanding Your Weekly Fuel Report
Fuel prices in the UK rarely stay still for long. Wholesale costs shift with global oil markets, retailers adjust their margins, and what you paid last Tuesday might look rather different by Friday. That is precisely why a weekly snapshot matters more than checking prices on any single day.
This report compares the rolling seven-day national average against the previous week, giving you a clear picture of the direction prices are heading. If unleaded has crept up by a penny or two, you know it is worth filling up sooner rather than later. If diesel has dipped, you can afford to wait and let the market work in your favour.
We also highlight the cheapest stations spotted in the last 24 hours, so you are never far from a bargain. The data comes directly from the UK Government's mandatory fuel price reporting scheme, covering every major forecourt in the country, and refreshes every five minutes. Think of it as your weekly pit-stop briefing — the numbers you need, without the noise.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the weekly fuel report updated?
The weekly report recalculates continuously. Underlying price data is pulled from the UK Government's mandatory reporting scheme every five minutes, and the seven-day averages update automatically as new readings arrive. There is no single “publish” moment — you are always looking at the most current rolling week.
What does the weekly price change mean for drivers?
The change figure shows whether the national average has risen or fallen compared to the previous seven days. A small upward arrow and a red badge means prices are climbing — it may be worth filling up now rather than waiting. A green downward arrow suggests prices are softening, so holding off a day or two could save you a few pence per litre.
How can I use this report to save money on fuel?
Use the trend direction to time your fill-ups. When the weekly average is falling, you can afford to run the tank lower and wait for cheaper prices. When it is rising, top up sooner. Pair this with the cheapest-stations table to find the best forecourt near you. Even saving 3p per litre on a 50-litre tank adds up to over 75 pounds a year for weekly fill-ups.
