Kettering

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 142p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

The supermarket sites, including Morrisons and Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 3 of the 15 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Asda around Cunliffe Drive. Several of the busier sites sit along Northfield Avenue and A14, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider East Midlands figure closely. Diesel averages around 165p per litre across the stations we track in Kettering.

The comparison covers stations up to roughly 8 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre. The cheapest station in Kettering is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
