Counted from OpenStreetMap on 20 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

See live stations within ~15 km of central Edinburgh on the map →

Edinburgh drivers fill up at BP, Shell, Esso and supermarket forecourts from Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons, mostly along the A720 city bypass and the main arterial roads. Central Edinburgh has few large stations, so plan a stop near the bypass. EV charging is expanding through ChargePlace Scotland plus rapid hubs at supermarkets and retail parks.

Local tips

  • Stations inside the city centre are scarce; the A720 bypass ring is where most of the choice is.
  • Asda and Morrisons sites in the suburbs usually offer the lowest petrol and diesel prices.
  • Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone covers the city centre. Check if an older diesel is compliant.

Edinburgh has more charging points mapped than fuel stations, 199 against 62. That is still rare, and it makes this an easy place to arrive on a low battery. See Edinburgh on the map →

Check before you drive, not after

The map is free to read, and confirming that a station has fuel takes one tap with no account. A price, a comment, opening hours or a review needs a free Google sign-in — that is what puts your name on it, and it also brings a streak, saved stations and the driver message board.

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
