Fuel prices by area

Price pattern alert

6 forecourts have repeatedly moved a fuel price in both directions at a consistent time of day, on at least three separate days in the last week. A one-off price change is not flagged here.

• Shell (DN14 8JS) in Goole (unleaded, diesel, super diesel and premium unleaded): On 7 of the last 7 days this station raised its price by about 2.0p around 10pm, then dropped it again within hours. A pattern repeating at the same time each day suggests the price is raised to earn more from drivers during that part of the day.
• Parkfoot Garage Limited (ME19 5AE) in West Malling (premium unleaded and super diesel): On 4 of the last 7 days this station cut its price by about 13.0p around 8pm, then put it back up within hours. A dip repeating at the same time each day suggests the lower price is offered only briefly.
• BP (HU9 5QL) in Hull (diesel and unleaded): On 4 of the last 7 days this station raised its price by about 1.0p around 10pm, then dropped it again within hours. A pattern repeating at the same time each day suggests the price is raised to earn more from drivers during that part of the day.
• BP (HU15 2SL) in Brough (super diesel, diesel and unleaded): On 4 of the last 7 days this station raised its price by about 1.0p around 10pm, then dropped it again within hours. A pattern repeating at the same time each day suggests the price is raised to earn more from drivers during that part of the day.
• BP (HU5 5BA) in Hull (diesel, unleaded, premium unleaded and super diesel): On 4 of the last 7 days this station raised its price by about 1.0p around 10pm, then dropped it again within hours. A pattern repeating at the same time each day suggests the price is raised to earn more from drivers during that part of the day.
• Shell (NR13 5AR) in Norwich (diesel): On 3 of the last 7 days this station raised its price by about 1.0p around 11am, then dropped it again within hours. A pattern repeating at the same time each day suggests the price is raised to earn more from drivers during that part of the day.
