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 Reading report their fuel prices?
We hold a recently reported price for 38 forecourts in Reading, 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 Reading — a site that stops reporting drops out, and one that has never reported never appears. Not every forecourt sells every fuel: 32 quote unleaded, 28 quote super unleaded, 32 quote diesel, 22 quote premium diesel. All 22 of the forecourts quoting premium diesel are ranked on this page.

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 Reading.
How up to date are these Reading 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.
