Bournemouth

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 149p per litre right now. Right now roughly 6p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

Supermarket forecourts from Asda and Tesco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 6 of the 27 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 Texaco around Spur End Service Station. Forecourts on Holdenhurst Road and Castle Lane carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider South West England figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 168p 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 Bournemouth is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
