Hemel Hempstead

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 145p per litre right now. Right now roughly 14p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 24 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Esso around Flamstead Filling Station. Several of the busier sites sit along Redbourn Road and Watling Street, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The local unleaded average sits well below the East of England number, so filling up locally usually beats waiting for somewhere else in the region. Diesel averages around 164p per litre across the stations we track in Hemel Hempstead.

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 Hemel Hempstead regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
