Luton

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 156p 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.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 2 of the 26 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

EG around Flamstead Filling Station has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Wigmore Lane and Luton Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider East of England figure. Diesel averages around 184p per litre across the stations listed for Luton.

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 Luton 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.
