How these London figures work
Coverage is every open station with a current price within 20 km (straight line) of Charing Cross, London (51.5073, -0.1276), so suburbs and neighbouring towns inside that circle are included whatever their postal town. Today that is 438 stations: 435 with a petrol price and 436 with a diesel price. Prices not updated in the last 30 days are left out.
Prices come from the official UK Government Fuel Finder dataset, which retailers are required to keep up to date. Averages are unweighted means of one price per station. Compare with the UK average petrol and diesel prices.
