Sunderland

The cheapest unleaded in town currently starts near 144p per litre. Unleaded currently varies by roughly 8p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank.

Supermarket forecourts from Asda and Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 7 of the 37 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 Asda around North Road. Forecourts on North Road and Parsons 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 163p per litre across the stations we track in Sunderland.

The comparison covers stations up to roughly 10 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre. If you drive through Sunderland regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
