Hailsham

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 148p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 12p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 1 of the 13 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 Morrisons around Hargreaves Road. Forecourts on Hailsham Road and Eastbourne Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

The local unleaded average sits well below the South East England number, so filling up locally usually beats waiting for somewhere else in the region. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 175p 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 Hailsham is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
