We’ve rounded up the cheapest fuel stations in each south east London borough within a five mile radius.

The average price of petrol fell in July by nearly 9p (8.74p) to 182.69p a litre, with the actions of independent retailers requesting retailers to finally lower their prices, RAC Fuel Watch figures show.

This led to nearly £5 being shaved off the cost of a 55-litre tank of petrol (£105.29 down to £100.48).

Diesel came down by almost 7p (6.69p) a litre from 199.07p at the start of the month to 192.38p by the close, reducing a fill-up by £3.68 (£109.41 down to £105.81).

While these are the third and fourth biggest monthly reductions within the last 20 years, the RAC says they still don’t fairly reflect the fall in the wholesale price of fuel, meaning major retailers should be cutting pump prices much further.

Fuel prices initially started to increase earlier in the year.
