Bishop Auckland

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 147p per litre right now. Right now roughly 12p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 2 of the 16 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Several of the busier sites sit along South Church Road and St Andrews Lane, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route. The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the North East England norm at the moment.

For diesel, expect an average of roughly 169p per litre locally. The comparison covers stations up to roughly 8 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre.

The cheapest station in Bishop Auckland is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit. The table below carries the exact live figures per station, and alerts can flag a drop at the forecourts you actually use.
