A big chunk of what you pay at the pump is tax. Here's how a typical litre of unleaded petrol breaks down at today's national average of 161.5p per litre.
Fuel duty has been frozen at 52.95p per litre since the temporary 5p cut in March 2022, with extensions announced in subsequent Budgets. VAT is charged at 20% on the total price including duty. The wholesale cost of fuel is driven by global oil prices, exchange rates, and refining costs.

Small changes to where you fill up and how you drive can add up over a year. Six practical tips that make a real difference.
Supermarket forecourts are typically 2-3p per litre cheaper than branded stations. Use the tool above to compare prices near you.
Motorway service stations are consistently the most expensive places to buy fuel. Plan ahead and fill up before joining the motorway.
Harsh acceleration and heavy braking use more fuel. Keeping a steady speed and reading the road ahead could make a noticeable difference to how often you fill up.
Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Check pressures at least once a month.
Every extra kilogram uses more fuel. Clear out the boot and remove roof racks or boxes when not in use.
Fuel is just one part of your motoring costs. Comparing your car insurance could save you hundreds.
