Global Petrol Price Index

How do UK petrol prices compare with other countries?

Petrol prices at the pump are at their highest-ever levels here in the UK

The factors that contribute to the price motorists pay at the pump have historically been, and continue to be, multi-faceted and extend far beyond our own borders. Aside from impacting drivers, petrol prices also push up the cost of goods across the board, including the price of the food we eat and the clothes we wear.

With this in mind, we have gathered together years of data which map the changing price of fuel across the globe to show what affects the price paid by motorists the world over.
