Fuel prices in Southampton: what to know
Southampton is served by the M27 and M3, with the A33 carrying traffic down into the city and the port. A large commuter flow runs in from Eastleigh, Totton and the wider Solent area, so plenty of refuelling happens on the main approach roads rather than in the centre.
Supermarket forecourts around the retail parks and the outer suburbs are typically the most competitive, while branded sites near the centre and the docks tend to charge more. With Portsmouth and the surrounding towns within reach, comparing nearby stations before filling up usually pays off.
How to save on fuel in Southampton
- Local tip. Forecourts on the M27 commuter approaches and outer suburbs generally beat city-centre and dockside prices.
- Compare before you fill up. Prices between nearby Southampton 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 Southampton are paying right now. PumpScout shows the two most common grades — E10 (Unleaded) and B7 (Diesel).
