Once costs, tax deductions and duty are considered, only a fraction of your fuel bill comes to us. Here’s a quick overview of where the money you pay at the pump actually goes.

Every time you fill up, 45% covers the cost of the fuel we buy from a supplier. A further 29% is fuel duty and 17% is VAT. Of the remaining 10%, only around 2% is our retail profit.

The price of fuel at the forecourt is influenced by lots of different things, including the volume of stock held at petrol stations, the price at which this stock was purchased.

Generally, the fluctuation in pump price reflects changing wholesale costs, however, different fuel contracts have different terms for when the price is fixed. Some are daily, which means prices rise immediately. Others have fixed prices for one, two, or more weeks. In a rising oil price environment, this means some sites may be cheaper than others. This is often misconstrued as ‘rocket and feather’ pricing, where prices are perceived to increase quickly but come down more slowly.
