Barnstaple

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 149p per litre right now. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 7p per litre at the moment.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco and Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 3 of the 11 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Asda around Anchorwood Retail Park has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on Anchorwood Retail Park and A39 carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

The local unleaded average sits well below the South West England number, so filling up locally usually beats waiting for somewhere else in the region. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 171p per litre locally.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. The cheapest station in Barnstaple is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
