Earley

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 149p 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.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco and Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 5 of the 38 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Costco has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along School Road and Chalfont Way, 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 176p per litre locally.

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 Earley 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.
