Diesel cost an average of 196.0p a litre across the 29 forecourts in the Edinburgh area that were reporting diesel prices to the government’s Fuel Finder scheme on 2 November 2026, 2.7p below the UK average of 198.7p.
The cheapest diesel open to all drivers in the Edinburgh area was 188.7p at Asda Straiton Superstore, EH20 9NY. The dearest was 203.9p at Shell Co-Op Dreghorn, EH13 9QR. For a business buying fuel, that 15.2p difference is worth £152 on every 1,000 litres, or £8.36 on a 55 litre tank.
Like for like, diesel prices at the 21 of those forecourts that reported on both 26 October and 2 November fell by an average of 0.5p a litre over the week. Among them, 1 raised their price, 8 cut it and the rest did not change.
Unleaded petrol (E10) averaged 171.4p across 29 forecourts, 0.1p above the UK average of 171.3p. It ranged from 167.9p at MFG Barclay Place (Jet) to 176.9p at Ingliston SF Connect (BP).
Supermarket forecourts were the cheaper place to fill up with diesel: they averaged 190.8p across 8 sites, against 197.9p at the other 21.
For fleets, 21 of the 29 forecourts selling diesel told Fuel Finder they sell fuel 24 hours a day, and 4 have AdBlue at the pump. None of them listed HVO renewable diesel.
Across Scotland, diesel averaged 200.1p and unleaded 172.2p on the same figures, and like for like diesel fell by an average of 0.2p over the week across 235 forecourts.
How the figures were worked out
The figures come from Fuel Finder, the government scheme under which every UK forecourt must report its prices within 30 minutes of a change, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. British Fuel Prices records the feed several times a day. Averages cover the forecourts on its Edinburgh page that reported a price in the 14 days to 2 November 2026; older prices are left out. The Edinburgh area is the 16 EH postcode districts on that page, so it reaches beyond the city council boundary. Weekly changes compare the same forecourts’ prices at both dates. Prices are pump prices in pence per litre, including duty and VAT.
