What this covers: 41 stations within 10 miles of the town centre as given in our town list, which can take in neighbouring towns. Averages are a plain mean of reported prices, so one dear motorway forecourt lifts a small town's figure. Stations that have reported nothing for 30 days are listed with their last price but left out of the averages.
