About fuel on this motorway

Petrol and diesel along the M48

The M48 runs severn bridge. Along the 4 junctions we track you'll find both on-motorway service areas (MSAs) that you can only reach from the road itself, and off-junction forecourts within 2 miles of a slip road.

How we group stations

Each junction lists every forecourt within 2 miles of the slip road, sorted by price. Motorway service areas appear inline on the junction they sit between. Toggle the direction of travel to filter down to just the carriageway you're on.

Is it cheaper to fill up off the motorway?

Right now the average motorway service area on the M48 charges 206.4p/L, versus 180.5p/L at nearby off-junction stations — a services premium of 25.9p/L. A 55-litre fill would cost about £14.27 more at the services.

How up-to-date are these prices?

Prices are refreshed from government open data every 15 minutes. The most recent update per station is shown next to each row.

Retailers publish prices under the government's Fuel Finder scheme. We refresh from those feeds roughly every 15 minutes and show the last-updated time on each station row.
