How this is calculated

Every price change reported by UK forecourts through the government's Fuel Finder scheme is recorded with the retailer's own timestamp. The daily index is the average across all stations selling each grade that day; movement stats count individual price changes against the same station's previous price. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0.
