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.

How many petrol stations in Preston report their fuel prices?
We hold a recently reported price for 41 forecourts in Preston, 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 Preston — a site that stops reporting drops out, and one that has never reported never appears. Not every forecourt sells every fuel: 27 quote unleaded, 22 quote super unleaded, 27 quote diesel, 17 quote premium diesel. All 17 of the forecourts quoting premium diesel are ranked on this page.
Is premium diesel cheaper in Preston than the UK average?
Preston averages 215.6p for premium diesel across the 17 forecourts quoting it, which is 3.2p a litre cheaper than the UK average of 218.8p. 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 Preston.
How up to date are these Preston fuel prices?
The most recent price here was reported today and the oldest 10 days ago. 1 forecourt has not reported in the last 48 hours. 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.
