Our Fueltool price tracker has the average UK supplier price at around 90ppl on a 1,000-litre order, down 18.6% over the last three months. That is a marked move down from the late-March peak near 130ppl, and the chart has been sloping steadily lower since April with only minor bumps along the way.
The fall is being driven by softer wholesale costs. Brent crude has eased to around $95 a barrel after diplomatic progress in the Middle East took some of the supply-risk premium out of the market, and a firmer pound has made imported product cheaper in sterling. With winter demand long past, that combination keeps the pressure on prices for households topping up their tanks now.
At roughly 90ppl, prices are sitting close to the lowest level on the three-month chart, with the usual autumn restock still some months away. Suppliers have been passing the softer wholesale costs through to pump prices across most regions, and barring a fresh shock to crude or sterling the near-term picture looks settled.
