Oxford

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 150p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 2 of the 26 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Tesco around Marcham Road has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along London Road and Bicester Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the South East England norm at the moment. Diesel averages around 181p per litre across the stations listed for Oxford.

Everything within about 15 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. The cheapest station in Oxford is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
