Cheapest fuel in CT5 postcode area

From the UK Government's Fuel Finder scheme. Every forecourt must report its pump prices within 30 minutes of a change, so these are the retailers' own prices, not estimates or crowdsourced reports.

We check the official feed every five minutes and show the time each price was set. If we haven't been able to update for 30 minutes, the page says so.

Supermarkets and high-volume sites often price lower; motorway and small independent sites tend to be higher. Location, brand and the station's own costs all play a part. We list every station in the area so you can see the spread.
