Why this price
What you're actually paying for
Of every litre of Standard Unleaded (E10) at 147.9p, 72.7p (≈ 49%) goes to the wholesale cost of the fuel itself, 53.0p (≈ 36%) is fuel duty paid to HMRC, 0.3p (≈ 0%) is VAT, and 22.0p (≈ 15%) is what the forecourt keeps to cover rent, staff, card fees and profit.
This station's margin of 22.0p is 17.8p above the five-mile average — notably high (neighbours average 4.2p). On our 0–10 fairness scale, 1.0/10 (high).
Wholesale and duty numbers come from DESNZ daily bulletins; VAT is the statutory 20% applied to the pump price; area average is computed across every reporting station within five miles.
