Folkestone

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 153p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 4p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 1 of the 9 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Gulf around Canterbury Road has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Cheriton High Street and Cheriton Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider South East England figure. Diesel averages around 166p per litre across the stations we track in Folkestone.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. If you drive through Folkestone regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.

The table below carries the exact live figures per station, and alerts can flag a drop at the forecourts you actually use.
