Middlesbrough

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 145p per litre right now. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 10p 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 31 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Asda 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.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider North East England figure. Diesel averages around 160p per litre across the stations we track in 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.
