Gateshead

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 152p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 4 of the 57 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Esso around A194 Leam Lane . Several of the busier sites sit along Gibside Way and Hollywood Avenue, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

On average the town runs a touch over the North East England norm for unleaded. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 182p 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 Gateshead is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
