We check three publisher feeds daily and select headlines about fuel prices, levies and road-fuel supply. We exclude general motoring, mining, aviation and promotional stories. Short editor notes are added where useful; other entries show the source headline with general planning context.
Dates belong to the publisher. An effective date is shown only when it is explicit in an official announcement. Commentary and forecasts are not confirmed price changes. News does not update the calculator, which uses its own checked price dataset and shows its effective date.
Entries cover up to the previous 90 days at the last check. If a source cannot be reached, its saved entries remain dated and the check status is shown above.
