The UK's energy security department maintains a public dataset comparing UK road fuel prices with prices in other European Union countries. The comparison sits within the UK's downstream fuel price reporting and draws on the European Commission's Oil Bulletin as its source data.
What the dataset covers
Two tables carry the comparison, identified in government records as QEP 5.1.1 and 5.2.1. The department fields technical questions about the tables through its energy prices statistics team by email.
Revision history
The department has revised the two tables many times since first publication. Among the recorded updates is one specifically noted as correcting a calculation error in the tables. The most recent dated revision on the page is 30 May 2024, though the page's update log shows the tables have been touched repeatedly beyond that entry.
