Newtownards

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 146p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 10p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 24 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Asda has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on Circular Road and Rathgael Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider Northern Ireland figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 166p per litre locally.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. The cheapest station in Newtownards is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
