Plaistow

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 146p 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 Tesco and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 15 of the 80 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Jet around Green Man Service Station. Several of the busier sites sit along Marshall Road and East Ferry Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the Greater London norm at the moment. Diesel averages around 173p per litre across the stations listed for Plaistow.

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