FuelRank guide

The true cost of cheap fuel

Learn why the cheapest pump price is not always the cheapest fill-up once driving distance is included.

Pump price is only one part of the decision

A station with a lower price per litre can still cost more overall if you burn extra fuel getting there and back. The saving has to be large enough to beat the journey cost.

Use your own MPG and fill size

The bigger the fill-up, the more a small price difference matters. The less efficient the vehicle, the more distance matters. FuelRank combines both so the ranking fits your car and trip.

When driving further can make sense

It is more likely to be worth driving further when you are already passing the cheaper station, buying a larger amount, or seeing a large price gap between local forecourts.
