The Leicester figure is the average of the forecourts listed on this page. The UK figure is national — it is not limited to Leicester — and it 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. That is what it was calculated from, rather than every forecourt in the country.

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.
