Empowering drivers and boosting competition in the road fuel retail market
We're seeking views on an open data scheme and ongoing monitoring function for road fuel prices.
Last fetched 03 May 2026 · gov.uk
Detail
The Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) undertook a year long market study into the road fuel sector. It concluded by recommending that the government should create a statutory open data scheme for fuel prices and an ongoing road fuels price monitoring function.
We are consulting to understand views on the best way to design and implement the open data scheme and elements of the monitoring function that are not outlined in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill, and we have set out our proposals in this consultation.
