Petrol prices over last year

Hello,
Does anyone know of a site where I can see the average UK fuel prices over the last year or so? Im doing my tax return and just realised that my fuel costs for more recent times will have gradually dropped compared to last year, so I need to do a few sums!
(Now I know why I should keep control of all the receipts *slaps own wrist* )

Thanks!

    I use fuelly so have a record of fuel prices since Dec 2013 :)

    DO you actually need the prices? Can you not just claim the HMRC rate for the miles you do?
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Gradually dropped! £1.47 to 99p, that's fallen off a cliff!

    If you give me the dates I try and match what I paid?

    Cheers

    If you ever paid £1.47, it would have been at a m'way services - certainly not somewhere you're going to be paying 99p now.

    Much easier, 45p per mile for 1st 10K, then 25p.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
