Chelmsford

The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 10p per litre at the moment. Supermarket forecourts from Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range.

1 of the 15 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators. Asda around Chelmer Village Centre has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late.

Forecourts on Roxwell Road and Colchester Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. The local average sits several pence over the wider East of England figure, which makes shopping around matter more than usual here.

Diesel averages around 186p per litre across the stations listed for Chelmsford. 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 Chelmsford 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. The table below carries the exact live figures per station, and alerts can flag a drop at the forecourts you actually use.
