UK Fuel Types Explained
UK forecourts sell four main fuel types under the CMA pricing scheme:
- E10 (Unleaded) — Standard petrol at 95 octane with up to 10% ethanol. The cheapest petrol option and suitable for most cars from 2011 onwards. Compare E10 prices
- E5 (Super Unleaded) — Higher octane petrol (97+ RON) with up to 5% ethanol. Required for some older cars and performance vehicles. Typically 15 to 18p more per litre than E10. Compare E5 prices
- B7S (Diesel) — Standard diesel containing up to 7% biodiesel. Available at every forecourt. Compare diesel prices
- B7P (Premium Diesel) — Enhanced diesel with cleaning additives and higher cetane number. Costs 18 to 20p more per litre. Compare premium diesel prices
How to Save on Every Fill-Up
The biggest saving comes from simply comparing prices before you fill up. Beyond that: choose supermarket forecourts over branded stations, avoid motorway services, fill up mid-week when demand is lower, and use loyalty cards to stack additional savings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find the cheapest fuel near me?
Enter your postcode or town in our comparison tool. We'll show you every forecourt nearby with prices for all fuel types — E10, E5, B7S and B7P — sorted cheapest first. We cover over 7,000 UK stations.
How much can I save by comparing fuel prices?
Prices can vary by 10 to 15 pence per litre between stations just a few miles apart. On a 50-litre tank, that's a saving of £5 to £7.50 per fill-up. Over a year, switching to the cheapest station in your area can save £100 to £200.
Which fuel type should I use?
Most petrol cars from 2011 onwards should use E10 (standard unleaded). Older cars or those requiring higher octane need E5 (super unleaded). Diesel cars use B7S (standard diesel). Premium diesel (B7P) is rarely worth the extra cost for everyday driving.
Where is fuel cheapest in the UK?
Supermarket forecourts (Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons, Costco) are consistently the cheapest. Geographically, areas near refineries with strong competition — particularly parts of the North West and Humberside — tend to have lower prices.
How accurate are the prices on this site?
Our prices come from the UK Government's CMA open data scheme, which requires major retailers to submit their prices. Data is updated every 15 minutes. Prices may change between updates, so always confirm at the pump.
