Frequently Asked Questions
Why is fuel more expensive at motorway services?
Motorway service areas pay high rents and operating costs, run around the clock, and face little competition: once you are on the motorway, the next forecourt may be twenty miles away. Right now unleaded at forecourts the Government's feed flags as motorway services has a median of 195.9p a litre, against 174.9p at forecourts off the motorway that aren't supermarkets: a gap of 21.0p.
Is it worth leaving the M1 to fill up?
Often, if you need a full tank. The table above shows the cheapest forecourt within 5 miles of each services and how much less it charges. Distances are as the crow flies from the services, so allow for the drive from the junction and back; on a 50-litre fill, a 20p difference is £10.
