Why this price
What you're actually paying for
Of every litre of Standard Unleaded (E10) at 135.9p, 72.2p (≈ 53%) goes to the wholesale cost of the fuel itself, 53.0p (≈ 39%) is fuel duty paid to HMRC, 0.3p (≈ 0%) is VAT, and 10.5p (≈ 8%) is what the forecourt keeps to cover rent, staff, card fees and profit.
This station's margin of 10.5p is 6.3p above the five-mile average — notably high (neighbours average 4.2p). On our 0–10 fairness scale, 1.0/10 (high).
