Debate

Motor Fuel Price (Open Data) Regulations 2025

Contribution

While it is impossible to predict how fuel prices will respond—they remain incredibly sensitive to wider geopolitical factors—we estimate that implementing a statutory open data scheme for fuel prices in the UK could result in fuel cost savings for drivers totalling £10.4 billion across a 10-year period. For householders who own a car, this could mean an average saving of about £40 a year—a meaningful difference for all those who rely on vehicles for work, school and caring responsibilities. These savings represent real relief for families and communities across the country.
