Petrol prices in Edinburgh rarely move as one. A forecourt on a busy through road and one tucked behind a retail park can be several pence apart on the same morning.

The 63 petrol stations we monitor in Edinburgh report their prices directly to the government scheme, so the figures here are what the pumps are charging rather than an estimate.

That spread is worth about 8.4p a litre between the keenest price in Edinburgh and the local average, so roughly £4.22 each time you fill up.

Diesel prices in Edinburgh run from 185.9p upward, averaging 198.0p across the sites we track.
