Kendal

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 153p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

Supermarket forecourts from Asda and Morrisons usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 2 of the 10 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 Burton Road. Forecourts on Burton Road and M6 carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider North West England figure. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 174p per litre locally.

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