What makes up the price of a litre of petrol?

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.

52.95p(33%)

Total pump price161.5p

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.

3

Drive smoothly

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.

4

Check your tyre pressure

Under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and fuel consumption. Check pressures at least once a month.

5

Remove unnecessary weight

Every extra kilogram uses more fuel. Clear out the boot and remove roof racks or boxes when not in use.

6

Compare your car insurance too

Fuel is just one part of your motoring costs. Comparing your car insurance could save you hundreds.

Petrol prices change regularly based on global oil prices, exchange rates, and fuel duty. For the latest trends and analysis, read our guide: Are petrol prices going up?
Supermarket forecourts, including Asda, Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s, are often among the cheaper places to buy fuel in the UK. In late October 2026, the big four supermarkets averaged 1.59p a litre less than the UK average for petrol, and 2.03p less than other forecourts, via the Brumble Fuel Price Index.
All petrol and diesel sold in the UK must meet the same British Standards (BS EN 228 for petrol, BS EN 590 for diesel). Supermarket fuel meets the same minimum specifications as branded fuel. Some branded fuels contain additional additives, but the base fuel is the same quality.
Forecourts can change their prices at any time. Under the government’s Fuel Finder scheme, they must report a new price within 30 minutes of changing it. The Brumble petrol prices tool uses that data and updates every hour.
A large part of the pump price is tax. Fuel duty is 52.95p a litre, and VAT at 20% is added on top. In late October 2026, tax made up about 47% of the average petrol price and 43% of the average diesel price, via the Brumble Fuel Price Index. The rest covers the cost of the fuel itself and the retailer’s margin.
Fuel prices vary significantly by region and by retailer. Supermarket forecourts are usually the cheapest option. Enter your postcode in the Brumble petrol prices tool on this page to find the cheapest fuel near you right now.
