Frequently Asked Questions
How is your fuel data gathered?
Our fuel data is gathered from Fuel Card users. When they purchase fuel with their card, we know what type of fuel they bought and how much it cost. Since there are tens of thousands of fuel card users in the UK, we are able to update our prices at around 8,000 stations each and every working day.
How many garages are listed?
There are just over 10,000 open garages that we are aware of currently in the United Kingdom. These are listed on the site.
How are your average fuel prices calculated?
The average fuel prices are a modal average, e.g. the most common selling price for each fuel type. We work this out on a daily basis and update the information daily.
How often is the fuel info updated?
Normally once per day at approximately 8,000 stations.
If you have Data for over 10,000 petrol stations why do you only update 8000 each day - what happens with the rest of the stations?
Remote areas such as Mid Wales, the Scottish Highlands and the Pennines may not be visited by fuel card users on a daily basis, therefore we cannot update our data. However over the course of a week or so, data for all our petrol stations will be updated.
How many searches do I get?
You can search 20 unique areas or postcodes per week. You are able to search for each unique postcode as many times as you like.
How do I get in contact if I have a problem?

Willow: I knew it, I knew it, well not in the sense of having the slightest idea, but I knew there was something I didn't know!
