Prices are published by the retailers themselves under the government's fuel price transparency scheme and are shown in pence per litre. A forecourt only appears here once it has actually reported, and we show its reported date rather than assuming today's price. Prices can change between a retailer reporting and you arriving, so always check the pump.
Common questions about fuel in Edinburgh
Every answer below is worked out from the forecourt prices on this page.
Where is the cheapest unleaded in Edinburgh?
Costco Wholesale Edinburgh, EH20 9BY, at 164.9p a litre. That is the lowest unleaded price of the 31 Edinburgh forecourts reporting it. The retailer reported it today (18 Oct 2026). Prices can change between a retailer reporting and you arriving, so check the pump.
How many petrol stations in Edinburgh report their fuel prices?
We hold a recently reported price for 34 forecourts in Edinburgh, published by the retailers themselves under the government's fuel price transparency scheme. That is what has reported recently enough for us to list, rather than a count of every forecourt in Edinburgh — a site that stops reporting drops out, and one that has never reported never appears. Not every forecourt sells every fuel: 31 quote unleaded, 28 quote super unleaded, 31 quote diesel, 14 quote premium diesel. All 31 of the forecourts quoting unleaded are ranked on this page.
Is unleaded cheaper in Edinburgh than the UK average?
Edinburgh averages 172.5p for unleaded across the 31 forecourts quoting it, which is 1.5p a litre cheaper than the UK average of 174.0p. The UK figure is taken over the 6,153 forecourts that reported a price in the most recent GOV.UK snapshot, out of the 8,136 forecourts we currently list, so it is not limited to Edinburgh.
How up to date are these Edinburgh fuel prices?
Every price on this page was reported today. Retailers report into the scheme themselves, anywhere from daily to occasionally, so no price here is a live pump price — each one is shown with the date it was reported.
How much can I save by shopping around for unleaded in Edinburgh?
Unleaded runs from 164.9p to 178.9p across the 31 Edinburgh forecourts quoting it — a gap of 14.0p a litre, or about £7.00 on a 50-litre fill, if both prices still stand when you get there.
