Costco Sheffield was cheaper still at 186.9p, but Costco forecourts are for members only, so it is left out of the cheapest figure above.

How the figures were worked out
The figures come from Fuel Finder, the government scheme under which every UK forecourt must report its prices within 30 minutes of a change, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. British Fuel Prices records the feed several times a day. Averages cover the forecourts on its Sheffield page that reported a price in the 14 days to 22 October 2026; older prices are left out. The Sheffield area is the 21 S postcode districts on that page, so it reaches beyond the city council boundary. The figures include 2 motorway service areas. Weekly changes compare the same forecourts’ prices at both dates. Prices are pump prices in pence per litre, including duty and VAT.
