About Fuel Prices in Colchester
Colchester, one of Britain's oldest towns and now a city, sits on the A12 between Chelmsford and Ipswich, and fuel prices here can differ by 10p a litre or more. Supermarket forecourts - around the Tollgate retail area, Hythe and the main approach roads - generally undercut branded stations by 5-10p a litre. Sites close to the A12 junctions often charge more than those tucked into the town's residential streets.
Using MotifyMe®'s free Fuel Finder, Colchester drivers can see live prices from every station in their area, not just the nearest one. Finding the cheapest pump within a reasonable radius of your journey can save a typical driver £100-£200 a year.
