How fuel prices are formed

Free market

Changes daily

~60% Taxes and levies

Regulator

Competition and Markets Authority; Department for Energy Security and Net Zero

Free market, but CMA oversight intensified in 2023-2026 due to weak pass-through of wholesale declines to retail. From 2 February 2026, mandatory station reporting to Fuel Finder requires price updates within 30 minutes. Price depends on Platts, GBP/USD and fuel duty.

Taxes and levies

Fuel duty 52.95 pence/litre, VAT 20%, renewable fuel obligations.

Subsidies

No direct subsidies; the 5p fuel duty cut has been extended to 31 August 2026, effectively acting as indirect support.

Weekly Digest #20 · May 11–17

Volkswagen brought the ID. Buzz back to the United States — complete with a mattress and curtains. A wildfire in Arizona burned down a dozen motorhomes, and Lake Tekir in Turkey flooded just as many. While Ibiza fines illegal campers up to €30,000, a retired couple from Mallorca has been living in 10 m² for five years and saving €1,400 a month. Plus: the largest campsite in the US at 607 pitches, a closed naturist beach on the North Sea, and Dolby Atmos in a trailer — all in this edition.

Wheelhome has launched the Dashaway eCT, an ultralight camper trailer designed specifically for electric vehicles. The trailer weighs 340 kg, offers 3.94 m² of living space with a kitchen and convertible bed, and features a gas-free, all-electric system. Priced at £26,225, it addresses the range and weight concerns that plagued its previous roof-mounted prototype for the Tesla Model 3.

Drivers could see motorhome and campervan rule in England scrapped

Scarborough Town Council has proposed reconsidering an overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the town's seafront. The council states the trial ban, implemented by North Yorkshire Council due to complaints, has displaced vehicles into residential areas, causing new issues with noise, waste, and parking. It argues for a controlled parking scheme on Marine Drive to address the problem.
