England Petrol Price

England, especially the south of England, has a reputation for being expensive and possibly even being a rip off. Whatgas.com have therefore decided to look at how the average price of petrol in England compares to the rest of the UK. The table below gives a breakdown of fuel prices by country.

All petrol prices are in pence per litre

Each average price is calculated from the last 15 days worth of price submissions and so the fuel price is based on a random survey of petrol stations in each country. The average petrol prices are updated daily.

Buying Petrol in England

At the time of writing there is little difference in fuel prices between England and the rest of the UK. If anything England is a slightly cheaper than Northern Ireland and Wales, whilst Scotland is certaingly a few pence cheaper. This could be due to the oil refinaries and North Sea Oil sources up in Scotland which keep transport costs lower. Detailed analysis of the english regions shows that there is certainly variation from county to county. These results will be published shortly, but i is clear that more rural places such as Devon and Cornwall are expensive places to buy petrol, as well as the major areas that are known to have high living costs (e.g London, Cambridge etc).

The table below shows a snapshot of recent petrol price submissions in England
