Who we are

FuelAlerts is a free UK fuel price alert service. We send weekly email digests showing the cheapest fuel stations near your postcode. This service is operated as a personal project and is not affiliated with any fuel retailer or government body.

  • Your postcode (and the latitude/longitude derived from it)
  • Your fuel type preference (petrol, diesel, or both)
  • Your preferred search radius
  • Optionally: your vehicle registration, annual mileage, MPG, and tank size — only if you choose to provide them
  • The date and time you subscribed and confirmed your email

How we use your data

We use your data solely to:

  • Send you weekly fuel price alerts relevant to your location and fuel type
