Diesel cost an average of 197.5p a litre across the 60 forecourts in the Leeds area that were reporting diesel prices to the government’s Fuel Finder scheme on 22 October 2026, 1.3p below the UK average of 198.8p.
The cheapest diesel open to all drivers in the Leeds area was 189.9p at Sainsburys White Rose, LS11 8LS. The dearest was 222.9p at Wetherby Service Area (BP), LS22 5GT, a motorway service area. For a business buying fuel, that 33.0p difference is worth £330 on every 1,000 litres, or £18.15 on a 55 litre tank. Away from motorway services, the dearest was 203.9p at Shell Tong Road, LS12 1QJ, 14.0p more than the cheapest.
Costco Leeds was cheaper still at 186.9p, but Costco forecourts are for members only, so it is left out of the cheapest figure above.
Like for like, diesel prices at the 49 of those forecourts that reported on both 15 October and 22 October fell by an average of 0.5p a litre over the week. Among them, 3 raised their price, 20 cut it and the rest did not change.
Unleaded petrol (E10) averaged 171.7p across 60 forecourts, 1.7p below the UK average of 173.4p. It ranged from 163.9p at Middleton Park Service Station (Texaco) to 199.9p at Wetherby Service Area (BP).
Supermarket forecourts were the cheaper place to fill up with diesel: they averaged 194.2p across 17 sites, against 199.1p at the other 42.
For fleets, 41 of the 60 forecourts selling diesel told Fuel Finder they sell fuel 24 hours a day, and 16 have AdBlue at the pump. None of them listed HVO renewable diesel.
Across Yorkshire and the Humber, diesel averaged 198.5p and unleaded 172.5p on the same figures, and like for like diesel fell by an average of 0.3p over the week across 373 forecourts.
How the figures were worked out
The figures come from Fuel Finder, the government scheme under which every UK forecourt must report its prices within 30 minutes of a change, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. British Fuel Prices records the feed several times a day. Averages cover the forecourts on its Leeds page that reported a price in the 14 days to 22 October 2026; older prices are left out. The Leeds area is the 22 LS postcode districts on that page, so it reaches beyond the city council boundary. The figures include 2 motorway service areas. Weekly changes compare the same forecourts’ prices at both dates. Prices are pump prices in pence per litre, including duty and VAT.
