Milton Keynes

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 159p 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 usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 30 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 Tesco around Tesco Stores Ltd. Several of the busier sites sit along Bletcham Way and Monks Way, 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. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 185p per litre locally.

The comparison covers stations up to roughly 10 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre. The cheapest station in Milton Keynes is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
