Newport

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 157p 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. 3 of the 6 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 St Georges Way. Forecourts on St Georges Way and York Avenue carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Unleaded around Newport currently averages noticeably more than South East England as a whole, so a fill-up just outside town can pay off. Diesel averages around 180p per litre across the stations listed for Newport.

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