I mapped the latest UK fuel prices by county

I built this using the official UK government forecourt fuel price feed. The map aggregates the latest petrol and diesel prices by county, with filters for fuel type and metric. Clicking a county shows the cheapest forecourt, average price, spread, and station count. The feed covers roughly 8,000 UK forecourts and refreshes every 30 minutes. Retailers publish the prices, so there can still be gaps in the data/stations but it's getting better over time.

I mapped the latest UK fuel prices by county launched on April 28, 2026 with 20 votes, #1,003 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

The map covers approximately 8,000 forecourts with data refreshing every 30 minutes, sourced directly from retailers, though coverage gaps exist and improve over time.

A live choropleth of UK petrol and diesel prices by county and unitary authority. Compare averages, cheapest pumps, and the biggest gaps across England, Wales and Scotland.

Every UK county and unitary authority on one map, coloured by the metric of your choice. Tap any region to see the cheapest forecourt and the spread of prices across it. The mean price for the chosen fuel across every forecourt in the county that's published in the last two weeks. A useful baseline — but the cheapest pump matters more than the average. The lowest price published in the county. This is the number you'd actually pay if you drove to the cheapest forecourt — colour leans green when the floor is low. Max minus min within the county. Bright counties have a big gap between the cheapest and the dearest — worth a few extra miles. Pale counties are evenly priced. Each county is…from fuelfox.uk

    With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
