Unleaded currently varies by roughly 9p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank. Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range.
Supermarkets account for 5 of the 22 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. The low end of the market has recently been held by Asda around Redbourn Road.
Forecourts on Redbourn Road and Watling Street carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. On average the town runs a touch over the East of England norm for unleaded.
For diesel, expect an average of roughly 200p 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.
