These experimental statistics are based on average road fuel sales and stock levels at sampled filling stations in Great Britain. The frequency of the publication has evolved in response to different fuel demand patterns and we will now publish on a weekly basis until further notice.

We are grateful for the feedback received so far on our proposed quarterly publication and continue to welcome comments on both the format and scheduling of the release.

If you have any comments on the data please email: downstream.oil.statistics@beis.gov.uk.

These official statistics in development are based on average road fuel sales, deliveries and stock levels at sampled filling stations in Great Britain. The frequency of the publication has evolved in response to different fuel demand patterns.

Due to the stability seen in the data throughout 2023 and 2024, and minimal questions and comments on the publication, we have moved this publication to a quarterly schedule. The publication will be on the second Thursday following the end of each quarter in January, April, July and October. This will be kept under review and in the event of a substantial disruption to fuel supply we have mechanisms in place to revert to more frequent reporting. The publication will continue to cover daily sales, deliveries and stock levels for diesel and petrol.

We welcome any feedback or comments that users may have. Please contact us at: downstream.oil.statistics@energysecurity.gov.uk.

Future release dates will be pre-announced in our calendar of future publication dates.
