UK petrol price per litre

The UK average pump price for a litre of unleaded petrol.

The UK average price of unleaded petrol was 173.6p a litre on 25 October 2026, according to PetrolPrices.co.uk's live tracker. That is an average across forecourts, not a price every station offers: motorway services and remote stations typically charge more, while supermarket forecourts and independent stations can be cheaper. The figure is for standard unleaded, not premium or diesel.
