Middlesbrough

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 157p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 6p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 7 of the 30 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Shell around Post Office has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Portrack Lane and North Street, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider North East England figure closely. Diesel averages around 180p per litre across the stations listed for Middlesbrough.

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 Middlesbrough is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
