Newbury

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 156p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 13p 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 2 of the 8 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Tesco around Pinchington Ln. Forecourts on London Road and Long Lane carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider South East England figure. Diesel averages around 179p per litre across the stations listed for Newbury.

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 Newbury is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
