Chester-le-Street

The cheapest unleaded in town currently starts near 150p per litre. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 3 of the 26 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Texaco around Chester Road has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on Parsons Road and A1 carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider North East England figure. Diesel averages around 174p per litre across the stations listed for Chester-le-Street.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. If you drive through Chester-le-Street regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
