48-hour fuel price outlook
Public beta · v1

See where fuel prices may be heading next.

Fuel Roam combines recent forecourt behaviour, nearby price movement and wider market signals to estimate short-term direction. The live panel shows what eligible current v1 station forecasts are saying overall.

The overall outlook is an aggregate signal, not a promise that every UK forecourt will move the same way. Individual station outlooks are shown only while their forecast is still current.

How to see the outlook for a station

You do not need to search through research data. Open a normal Fuel Roam station page and the prediction appears there automatically whenever that station has a current eligible forecast.

1

Find a petrol station

Browse the station directory or use your location to find forecourts nearby.

2

Open the station page

Choose the forecourt you care about and view its latest reported fuel prices.

3

Look for “48-hour price outlook”

If a current v1 forecast is eligible, the Beta card appears beneath the station's current price section.

Can't see an outlook on a station? That is normal. Fuel Roam hides forecasts that are too old, have expired, or were made before the station's current pump price changed.

The signal stack

What goes into the 48-hour outlook?

For a driver deciding whether to fill up today or tomorrow, what nearby forecourts and the same retailer are doing can matter more than a crude-oil headline on its own.

01

Nearby competitors

Has the local market started cutting or raising prices in the last 24 hours? Fuel Roam measures the direction and size of nearby changes.

02

Same-brand movement

If stations from the same retailer are moving first elsewhere, that can be an early signal for a forecourt that has not changed yet.

03

Station history

Fuel Roam records genuine price changes over time, including how long a station has held its current price and its recent direction.

04

UK price momentum

Weekly UK petrol and diesel averages help show whether the wider retail market is trending up, down or sideways.

05

Brent crude

Oil-market movement provides a useful macro signal, but Fuel Roam deliberately gives local retail behaviour more importance for short-term forecasts.

06

GBP / USD

Oil is priced internationally in US dollars, so sterling strength or weakness can change the cost pressure faced by the UK fuel market.

How to read it

A useful signal — not a promise.

Fuel prices are affected by retailer decisions, wholesale costs, exchange rates, competition and events that no model can know in advance. The outlook is designed to add context to the live pump price, not replace it.

Direction, not certainty

The public beta uses conservative wording such as likely to rise or likely to stay broadly stable rather than presenting a guaranteed outcome.

Current-price guardrail

If a station has already moved away from the price used by the forecast, Fuel Roam automatically stops showing that outlook.

Fresh signals only

Outlooks expire and are only shown when a recent forecast is still inside its 48-hour evaluation window.

Measured in the background

Every forecast continues to be compared with what actually happens, including challenger models and signals that remain private research.
