## About fuel in Brighton

Brighton and Hove have relatively few forecourts for the population they serve, and the coastal geography means there is no cheap ring road alternative — so prices here tend to run above the South East average.

**Local tip.** Sites inland towards the A27 and Lewes are usually cheaper than anything in central Brighton or along the seafront.
