Gainsborough

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 152p per litre right now. Right now roughly 2p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

The supermarket sites, including Morrisons and Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 2 of the 5 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Esso has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on High Street and Lea Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

The local unleaded average sits well below the East Midlands number, so filling up locally usually beats waiting for somewhere else in the region. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 169p per litre locally.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. Prices in Gainsborough can move mid-week as well as at weekends, so the ordering above is worth a glance even if you always use the same forecourt.
