Grays

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 Morrisons, tend to set the floor for prices here.

Supermarkets account for 6 of the 28 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. The low end of the market has recently been held by Costco around West Thurrock Way.

Forecourts on Thames Way and Thurrock Park Way carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider East of England figure.

Diesel averages around 173p per litre across the stations listed for Grays. 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.

Prices in Grays 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. Use the live table for the exact prices at each site, or set an alert if you would rather be told when your usual stations drop.
