About FWNI
Built for us, by one of us.
FuelWatchNI is a free, real-time fuel price comparison tool built specifically for Northern Ireland.
The service tracks petrol and diesel prices at over 375 forecourts across the country, from big supermarket forecourts to your local independent filling station, and surfaces the cheapest options near you, right now.
There's no subscription. No account to create. No App Store. Open the site, save it to your phone, and save money. That's it.
Why I built it
My whole life, I've heard only one subject talked about more in Northern Ireland than the weather, and that's the price of petrol and diesel. We're lucky to have great independent retailers alongside the big high street brands in this country (sometimes right across the street from one another) but that makes tracking prices and knowing where to spend your money genuinely difficult.
How often have you heard: "You paid how much? You should have gone to Joe's" — and there's always a Joe, wherever you're from. How many times have you said to yourself, "I'll stick a tenner in to get me home and find somewhere cheaper on the way." Or the worst one — you've driven off a forecourt on the way into town, only to spot a garage on the way out that's 5p cheaper.
For years I wanted to fix this. I talked (at length) about building an app that would just tell you what the prices are nearby, and then my mum thought it was a great idea so she has been on at me (at length) for years to get it done. So here it is: FuelWatchNI — and the only person happier about it than me is my mum! During testing we found a station just two minutes off the main road she uses every day, and she ended up saving a fortune by going somewhere she had never thought of before. That's the purpose of it all. No more guess work, and always knowing you got the best price that you could.
Moving back here recently opened my eyes to how much we rely on our cars in Northern Ireland. Public transport just isn't viable for most people when services are scarce in your area. So when the opportunity came to spend time building something, I wanted it to be useful for as many people as possible.
What makes FuelWatchNI different
I know there are other apps and sites out there promising similar things, showing you "live" prices. But since becoming an approved recipient of the data myself, I can tell you that a lot of those sites are publishing unfiltered, unverified prices — some of which are stale, improperly entered, or as I recently found out, potentially months old. This site won't do that, and I can point to Dungannon on a map too.
I say that with half a smile, because most of these services are focused on Great Britain and treat Northern Ireland as a nice-to-have, publishing proces just becuase they have them, without checking whether the information they're putting out is actually correct. They assume that because a price is in a spreadsheet, it must be right. It isn't. And that kind of carelessness undermines confidence in the whole system.
FuelWatchNI is the only NI-focused service that puts drivers here first. Every price goes through a series of quality checks before it's published: price swings, petrol versus diesel comparisons, system entry validation, county-level spread, and yes, checking that whoever filled in their part of the data put the decimal point in the right place at every single station.
Recently I found that even that wasn't enough. A price that was two months old made it through because my system was counting hours and days, not weeks and months. I've fixed that, and I'll keep adapting — to the market, to unusual price swings, and to the reality of stations across the country working toward full compliance with the new regulations.
Covering Northern Ireland — together
As that compliance continues to grow, so does the site. The Government's fuel pricing transparency mandate requires forecourts to report their prices within 30 minutes of every change. That's a lot to track, and it requires some trust that stations are holding up their end. We launched with over 300 stations and we're adding more all the time.
But I don't do this alone.
FuelWatchNI has a community of drivers across Northern Ireland who help keep the data sharp. If a price looks wrong at your local station, you can flag it in 30 seconds in the app. If a forecourt is missing, you can tell us. Every report helps every other driver who checks that station after you.
The more people use it, the better it gets — for everyone.

How it works
On your device
iPhone or iPad (Safari)
Open FuelWatchNI, tap Share, then “Add to Home Screen” if you want it as an icon. Allow location only when you use “My location”. You can pinch to zoom the page like any other site.
Android (Chrome)
Use the ⋮ menu and “Add to Home screen” for a quick shortcut. Location is optional and only used on the “My location” tab.
Laptop or desktop
Use a normal browser window. The counties map and price tables work best with a wide screen; search and saved stations behave the same on any size.
Step-by-step:
1. Forecourts report their prices
Under the UK Government's fuel pricing transparency mandate, filling stations are legally required to report their petrol and diesel prices. FuelWatchNI collects this data across 375+ stations in Northern Ireland and keeps it updated as stations comply.
2. We rate the freshness of every price
Not all reported prices are equal — some stations update daily, others less frequently. Rather than treating all prices the same, we apply a traffic light freshness rating to every single entry:
🟢 Green — 1 to 5 days old
The price is fresh. Shown in full rankings. The last-updated date is displayed beside the station.
🟡 Amber — 6 to 9 days old
The price is ageing. Still visible in listings, but the last-updated date is prominently shown so you can judge for yourself.
🔴 Red — 10 or more days, no update
We don't trust it enough to show it. The price is zeroed out and the station drops to the bottom of rankings until a fresh price is confirmed.
3. The hero price is always verified
The headline price you see at the top of the site — the cheapest petrol or diesel in Northern Ireland reported right now only ever comes from a station that has been updated in the last 24 hours. No exceptions.
We do this because that's the number people act on. If you're driving across town to save a few pence, you need to know that price is real.
4. You see it. You save.
Results are sorted by price, with the cheapest at the top. You can filter by fuel type and find stations near you. Every listing shows the price, the station name, the location, and when the price was last confirmed.
Trends and Updates — red and green arrows
Where you see a day-on-day change for an average price, green means the average went down (usually better for drivers). Red means it went up. That is separate from the green / amber / red freshness dots beside a single station’s price.
No account. No ads. No noise.
Just the cheapest fuel near you, right now.
5. Something look wrong? Report it
Spotted a price that doesn't match the sign at the pump? Think a station is missing entirely? Use the report tool on any listing to flag it.
Every report is reviewed. Prices that are flagged as incorrect are investigated and updated. Stations that are reported as missing are added to our tracking list. Your two seconds of effort saves the next driver from making a trip on bad information.
This is how the community keeps FuelWatchNI honest — and why the data gets better every single week.

Trends and Updates
Track Northern Ireland fuel price trends, county spreads, daily snapshots and important FuelWatchNI service updates.
For averages in the snapshot cards, green means the NI average moved down versus the previous snapshot; red means it moved up. Station-level green / amber / red dots are about how old that forecourt’s price is, not whether the price went up or down.
The data below is presented daily on the prices reported in the last 24 hours. That means on occasion a county spread may appear as 0.0p when no new eligible prices have come in. Daily snapshots are published at 10pm.
Today, we are checking reporting coverage and price spread across Northern Ireland.
