Rainham

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 154p 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 Asda and Morrisons usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 7 of the 26 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 Asda. Forecourts on City Way and Maidstone Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider South East England figure. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 177p 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. If you drive through Rainham regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
