Why this price
What you're actually paying for
Of every litre of Standard Unleaded (E10) at 133.9p, 72.2p (≈ 54%) goes to the wholesale cost of the fuel itself, 53.0p (≈ 40%) is fuel duty paid to HMRC, 0.3p (≈ 0%) is VAT, and 8.5p (≈ 6%) is what the forecourt keeps to cover rent, staff, card fees and profit.
This station's margin of 8.5p is 4.3p above the five-mile average — notably high (neighbours average 4.2p). On our 0–10 fairness scale, 1.7/10 (high).
