Nottingham

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 152p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

The supermarket sites, including Asda and Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 23 of the 76 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Sainsburys around Main Street has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Stragglethorpe Road and A46, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the East Midlands norm at the moment. Diesel averages around 179p per litre across the stations listed for Nottingham.

Everything within about 15 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. Prices in Nottingham 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.
