The average gas price in Great Britain in April 2025 was 86.28 British pence per therm. This was 15 pence higher than the same month the year prior and follows a trend of increasing gas prices. Energy prices in the UK Energy prices in the UK were exceptionally high in 2021-2022 due to an energy supply shortage as a result of lower pipeline supplies from Norway and Russia, as well as reduced LNG imports owing to greater purchases by customers in Asia. Multiple factors such as a lack of gas storage availability and the large share of gas in heating have exacerbated the supply issue in the UK. This led to multiple suppliers announcing bankruptcy, while an upped price cap threatened energy security of numerous households. The United Kingdom has some of the highest household electricity prices worldwide. How is gas used in the UK? According to a 2023 survey conducted by the UK Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, 58 percent of respondents used gas as a heating method during the winter months. On average, household expenditure on energy from gas in the UK stood at some 24.9 billion British pounds in 2023.
In September 2022, the average price of super unleaded in London reached 179.3 pence per liter. This represents a 20 pence decrease compared to two months prior. Since 2017, the price of super unleaded fuel in London has oscillated, reaching a low of 123.9 pence per liter in June 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic. Overall, London had the highest fuel price compared to other UK regions.
On June 16, 2025, the price of ultra-low sulfur unleaded petrol (gasoline) in the United Kingdom averaged 132.33 pence per liter. This compared to 139.03 pence per liter for diesel. Diesel prices were consistently higher than petrol/gasoline prices throughout this period, although the margin varied. Reasons for such differences in pricing lie in the refining process and molecular makeup of the products, with diesel requiring more complex refining processes and being an overall heavier liquid. As motor fuel pricing in the UK is not regulated by a monitoring body, there may also be notable differences in prices between retailers and regions. Supermarkets provide lowest fuel prices in the UK In the UK, much of the motor fuel is sold through supermarkets. Large supermarkets, or hypermarkets, account for more than 40 percent of all motor fuel sales in the country. The reason for their popularity often lies in the fact that they offer lower average prices. In the last four years, regular petrol/gasoline sold at supermarkets was up to six pence per liter cheaper than the national average. How UK fuel prices compare to the rest of the world Tied as they are to crude oil prices, motor fuels are generally cheapest in major producing countries, such as Iran, Venezuela, and Russia. In Europe, costs of importing the raw or finished products, in addition to taxes and levies, may hike up pump prices significantly. The UK is often among the countries with the highest petrol/gasoline prices, alongside other large European car markets such as France and Germany.

Residential consumers of natural gas in the United Kingdom paid an average of 9.1 U.S. dollar cents per kilowatt hour. This was the lowest value since September 2022. The residential and commercial sectors are the largest consumers of natural gas in the country.
Unleaded 95 fuel prices amounted to 164.4 pence per liter in London in September 2022. This was down from a peak of 188.6 pence per liter recorded in June 2022. During the period in consideration, figures increased significantly as Europe was gripped by an energy supply shortages and crude oil prices reached highs not seen since 2008. In general, unleaded 95 octane was the cheapest fuel type in London, when compared to diesel prices.
In September 2022, the average price of diesel in London stood at 182.2 pence per liter.The price of diesel fuel generally fluctuates in tandem with crude oil prices and net increased by over 60 pence in the period of consideration. In July 2022, the average diesel price peaked at 197 pence per liter. London has a reputation for being expensive, and the cost of diesel is no exception. Prices in the capital have consistently been more expensive than the UK average. Diesel's descent in popularityAs a result of the diesel scandal, where Volkswagen was discovered to have fitted defeat devices meant to lower emission levels during fuel economy testing, the popularity of the diesel car suffered significantly. By 2021, diesel's share in the UK's new passenger car market had fallen to less than 8.2 percent. This was in direct contrast to steady gains made by electric and hybrid vehicles, with more drivers now choosing battery-fitted vehicles over diesel combustion engines.There are many types of diesel, most commonly a fractional distillate of petroleum fuel oil, all of which are constantly being developed and adapted for the industry. As of 2006, almost all of the petroleum-based diesel fuels in Europe and North America are an ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD). Meanwhile, biodiesel remains a not so widely used choice.

The National Balancing Point (NBP), the UK's natural gas benchmark, amounted to 95.46 British pence per therm on June 23, 2025, for contracts with delivery in July. Prices are generally higher in the winter months due to greater gas heating demand, especially in weeks of colder weather. The UK NBP, along with the Dutch TTF, serve as benchmarks for natural gas prices in Europe. Impact on consumer prices and household expenditure post-2022 Fluctuations in wholesale natural gas prices often have immediate impacts on UK consumers. In 2023, the consumer price index for gas in the UK rose to 195 index points, using 2015 as the base year. This increase has translated into higher household expenditure on gas, which reached approximately 24.89 billion British pounds in 2023. This figure represents a 23 percent increase from the previous year and a staggering 91 percent rise compared to two years earlier, highlighting the growing financial burden on UK households. Consumption patterns and supply challenges The residential and commercial sector remain the largest consumers of natural gas in the UK, using an estimated 40.7 billion cubic meters in 2023. This was followed by the power sector, which consumed about 15 billion cubic meters. The UK's reliance on gas imports has grown due to declining domestic production. This shift has led to an increased dependence on liquefied natural gas imports and pipeline inflows to meet demand.
Established in 2003, the London Energy Brokers' Association (LEBA) advocates for firms brokering in the UK's over-the-counter and exchange-traded energy markets, as well as in Europe's liberalized energy sectors. Annually, LEBA brokers facilitate transactions exceeding $2 trillion in energy trades. The key commodities traded encompass crude oil, refined petroleum, natural gas, electricity, coal, and emission allowances.

Diesel fuel prices are generally highest in London and lowest in Northern Ireland. In early 2022, the Russia-Ukraine war and trader uncertainty pushed crude oil and consequently motor fuel prices to record highs. As a result, March 2022 saw the greatest ever monthly rise in fuel prices.
