How we verify our news
Every story on fuel.co.uk is checked before it is published. Here is the standard we hold ourselves to.
Our news is written by the New Reg group newsroom and published here on fuel.co.uk. We work from official data, such as government and regulator announcements and the live UK fuel-price and vehicle data we track, then write each story ourselves in plain British English, focused on what it means for what you pay at the pump. Speed only matters if the facts hold, so nothing is published until it has cleared verification.
When a story reports a fact from outside the group, that fact comes from an official source, such as a government department or regulator, and we name and link that source at the foot of the article. We write every story in our own words and our own analysis; we do not republish other outlets' articles, and we hold back anything we cannot stand behind.
We also monitor the data and activity across the New Reg group's own automotive platforms, from live fuel prices and vehicle valuations to garage bookings, number-plate demand and used-vehicle listings. That first-party view lets us surface real trends and bring readers genuine automotive intelligence, not a rewritten press release.
Every article carries a named author and the date it went live.
We correct openly. If we get something wrong, we fix it and the article is updated. If a story no longer stands up, we take it down.
