Across the UK, unleaded was down 0.8p over the same week, at 172.7p, which puts Braintree 2.2p below the national average.
"Drivers in Braintree paid 2.2p less for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £1.10 less than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Braintree is 12.0p, so where you fill up still matters more than when." said Jacky A., editor of fuelpricetoday.co.uk.

How the figures are computed
Each average is the mean of the prices changed in the last 7 days at the filling stations of Braintree, motorway services left out and prices more than 25p from the day's median discarded. The cheapest and most expensive stations are judged against the stations within 10 km, so that a typing error cannot top the list. The week runs from Monday to Sunday. Details on how this site works.
