At one time diesel was taxed less than unleaded and hence it was cheaper to fill up your car with it and provided improved fuel economy. Now it costs the same and usually more. Whilst over 60% of the cost of diesel is taxation it is possible to shop around with different retailers and find that some are cheaper than others.
So, here we examine how the price of diesel per litre varies for different retailers, the average prices being based upon a survey of Whatprice users.
These prices are obtained by you the public filling in details of Diesel prices at all the retailers in the UK. To help out with this project, or to find cheap Diesel in your local area use the map below. Simply type in your postal town and then look at all the Diesel Retailers in your area. Please update any prices that you know by clicking the 'update' button.

"Thanks for the site. It would be good to have a price/ date graph that we could chose a date on and get the national average."
