Tynemouth

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 144p per litre right now. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 5p per litre at the moment.

Supermarket forecourts from Morrisons and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 5 of the 26 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Esso around A194 Leam Lane . Several of the busier sites sit along Whitley Road and Coronation 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 Tynemouth.

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 Tynemouth regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
