How much extra you pay for fuel at UK motorway services

By the FuelHunter editorial team · Updated 28 June 2026

A live ranking of every UK motorway service station by how much they charge over the rest of the country.

+17.9p extra per litre at UK motorway services right now

The motorway tax in plain numbers

We analyse every UK forecourt's current unleaded (E10) price. Motorway service stations are averaging 169.2p/L, against the non-motorway UK average of 151.3p/L. That works out at roughly £8.95 extra to fill a 50-litre tank, every time you stop on the motorway instead of the slip road.

The premium isn't uniform. The table below ranks every motorway forecourt in the UK by current E10 price, highest first. Several services run more than 25p above the UK average — well over a tenner on a typical fill.
