Sub-national road transport consumption data

Road transport energy consumption in the UK at regional and local authority level.

This page contains UK sub-national (regional and local authority) level statistics showing fuel consumption by road vehicles. These estimates are based upon vehicles travelling within each local authority area rather than being specific to residents of the local authority.

These get combined with estimates of the subnational consumption of electricity , gas and other fuels to produce statistics showing total energy consumption for regions and local authorities in the UK.

Historical releases of the data are available on request from DESNZ greenhousegas.statistics@energysecurity.gov.uk
