Fuel prices in Leicester: what to know
Leicester sits beside the M1 and M69, with a busy ring road circling the centre and the large Fosse Park retail area drawing traffic from across the county. Forecourts around Fosse Park and the other retail clusters tend to be the most competitive thanks to heavy supermarket presence.
Prices differ between the city centre, the inner suburbs and the outer districts of Oadby, Wigston and Beaumont Leys. Because Leicester has a good spread of supermarket and branded sites, the cheapest fuel is often only a short drive from wherever you start — a quick check before filling up is usually worthwhile.
How to save on fuel in Leicester
- Local tip. The forecourts around Fosse Park and the major retail parks are usually among the cheapest in Leicester.
- Compare before you fill up. Prices between nearby Leicester stations can differ by 10p per litre or more — that's up to £5 on a single tank.
- Supermarket fuel is usually cheapest. Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda and Morrisons forecourts typically undercut branded ones.
- Avoid motorway services. Fuel on the motorway is often 15–20p per litre dearer than in town.
- Fill up midweek. Prices tend to be lower on Tuesdays and Wednesdays than at weekends.
Prices come from the UK Government's official Fuel Finder scheme. Under the Motor Fuel Price (Open Data) Regulations 2025, every UK retailer must report pump prices within 30 minutes of a change, so the figures above reflect what drivers in Leicester are paying right now. PumpScout shows the two most common grades — E10 (Unleaded) and B7 (Diesel).
