How to read the regional benchmark and move from an area-wide average to a useful local comparison.
Regional averages for the South East combine current qualifying pump prices separately for petrol, diesel, super unleaded and premium diesel. Each fuel has its own coverage and price range, so the figures should be compared with the matching UK benchmark rather than ranked across fuel types.
Town prices vary with local competition, retailer mix, delivery costs and how many forecourts serve the area. Use the cheapest-town preview to see regional leaders, then open a town page to compare individual forecourts before making a journey.
The directory follows canonical source-enriched localities in the South East. Membership is not based on a hard radius, and specialist directories include towns with current qualifying evidence for that fuel, including useful sparse pages that remain outside the sitemap.
