Current 13-week analysis
Quote the movement with the assumptions attached.
Every figure below is recalculated from the same checked rows as the chart and downloads.
UK average petrol rose by 3.84p/L to 156.13p/L and diesel rose by 6.89p/L to 173.97p/L in the week commencing 27 July 2026. At 45 MPG, that weekly movement would make an illustrative 100-mile journey about £0.39 more using petrol and about £0.70 more using diesel. Source: DESNZ; analysis: UtilHub UK.
Journey method: (100 miles ÷ 45 MPG) × 4.54609 litres per imperial gallon × weekly price change ÷ 100. The result is an illustration using national averages, not a local quote or forecast.
