Dartford

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 156p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 14p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

Supermarket forecourts from Asda and Morrisons usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 4 of the 31 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 Costco around West Thurrock Way. Several of the busier sites sit along High Street and London Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider South East England figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 183p 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. The cheapest station in Dartford is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
