How this report is produced

Figures cover every forecourt reporting to the UK Government's Fuel Finder scheme with a price updated in the last 30 days. Averages are simple means across stations, not weighted by volume sold. Week-on-week changes compare prices at the end of the week with prices at the start, reconstructed from every logged price change. City figures use stations within 15 miles of the city centre. Journalists are welcome to quote these figures with a link to this page.
