Looking for a PetrolPrices alternative?

A PetrolPrices alternative for UK drivers: Pennyfill compares every forecourt using official Fuel Finder data, free with no account, with alerts on Pro.
Two ways to compare fuel prices
PetrolPrices is one of the longest-running UK fuel price sites, and combines retailer data with prices reported by its users. Pennyfill is newer, and built around the government's official Fuel Finder open data, which forecourts are required to report.
Both let you search by postcode and compare stations nearby. If you're weighing them up, these are the things worth checking.
What Pennyfill offers
- Every reporting forecourt in the UK on one map, with the date each price was reported.
- Free to search, with no account needed, and no adverts.
- Pages for every town and city and fuel brand, and a daily UK price index.
- EV charging points alongside petrol and diesel.
- Live prices for driving in France, Spain and Germany.
- With Pro: alerts when prices drop, cheaper-nearby tips, loyalty-card prices and routes with several stops.
Try both
The best fuel app is the one whose prices match what you see on the forecourt. Search your usual stations in each, and compare.
