Dagenham

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 155p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 11p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 7 of the 59 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Jet. Forecourts on Tollgate Road and Bexley Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider Greater London figure. Diesel averages around 183p per litre across the stations listed for Dagenham.

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