Darlington

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 146p per litre right now. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 7p per litre at the moment.

Supermarket forecourts from Morrisons usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 2 of the 13 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Shell around Newton Park Service Station has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Whinbush Way and A167, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider North East England figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 160p 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. Prices in Darlington can move mid-week as well as at weekends, so the ordering above is worth a glance even if you always use the same forecourt.
