Harlow

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 166p per litre right now. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 4p per litre at the moment.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 2 of the 12 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Sainsburys around Fifth Allende Avenue. Forecourts on Potter Street and Southern Way carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Unleaded around Harlow currently averages noticeably more than East of England as a whole, so a fill-up just outside town can pay off. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 188p per litre locally.

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. If you drive through Harlow regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
