Road fuel prices in the UK - statistics & facts
Gasoline and diesel fuel are the motor fuels most commonly used to power road vehicles in the United Kingdom. Gasoline (sold as unleaded) and diesel fuel are refined petroleum products and as such their prices are intrinsically linked to crude oil price development and oil demand worldwide. In the UK, gasoline is most often sold as unleaded 95 octane (referring to the research octane number (RON)), also known as regular unleaded across Europe; or as super unleaded, which has a minimum of 97 RON. The octane rating indicates fuel compressibility and engine performance. Meanwhile, diesel fuel is used for compression-ignition engines.
