Norton

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 150p 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 usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 28 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 Tesco around Myton Rd. Forecourts on Portrack Lane and Durham Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider North East England figure. Diesel averages around 171p per litre across the stations listed for Norton.

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. Prices in Norton 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.
