Seaham

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 150p per litre right now. Right now roughly 12p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

The supermarket sites, including Morrisons and Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 3 of the 15 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 Jet around Cliff House Service Station. Several of the busier sites sit along Leechmere Road and Essington Way, 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 173p per litre across the stations listed for Seaham.

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. If you drive through Seaham regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
