By Anthony Sharkey, Chief Operating Officer, New Reg Limited
Ranked from official price data, Go leads on average unleaded at 150.8p, against a 25-brand mean of 160.1p.
Ranking the 25 UK fuel brands with at least 20 reporting forecourts, average unleaded runs from 150.8p at Go to 164.4p at Gleaner, a 13.6p per litre spread around a 160.1p mean.
Cheapest five by average: Go at 150.8p across 29 sites; Maxol at 154.4p across 88 sites; Solo at 154.6p across 36 sites; Circle K at 155.9p across 42 sites; Tesco at 158.9p across 510 sites.
Brand averages reflect estate composition as much as pricing policy: a chain concentrated in one region, or weighted towards supermarket sites, reads cheaper for reasons of geography rather than strategy. Motorway services operators are excluded from the table because their pricing reflects the motorway premium, which Promo tracks separately. The minimum site count keeps small estates from distorting the ranking.
