Practical guide

Where to check UK fuel prices

How to use current prices without hard-coding them into a calculator.

Why AutoCifra asks for a price

Fuel prices change by location and date. A calculator is more useful when you enter the pump price relevant to you.

UK official context

HMRC publishes advisory fuel rates and explains its fuel-price assumptions in pence per litre and miles per gallon. These rates are for specific tax/reimbursement purposes, not a universal retail price.

Use a current local figure

For personal journey calculations, use the current price displayed by the petrol station or price source you trust, then enter it into AutoCifra.
