Shell has forecourts on most major routes in the UK, which makes it one of the brands drivers encounter most often on a long journey. That convenience comes at a cost: Shell sites on trunk roads and at service areas are usually priced well above the supermarket forecourt a couple of miles off the junction.

Where a Shell competes directly with supermarkets in a town, the price gap narrows considerably. The variation across Shell sites in our data is one of the widest of any brand, precisely because the network spans everything from urban retail parks to remote A-road stops.

Shell V-Power is the premium offering, with a higher octane rating for the petrol and extra detergents in both grades. For an ordinary family car the benefit is marginal against the price. For a performance engine that specifically asks for higher octane, it is the right fuel.

The list below shows the cheapest Shell forecourts we currently track, alongside a national comparison.
