Paignton

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 144p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

Supermarket forecourts from Sainsburys usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 3 of the 16 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Jet around Aller Vale Garage. Forecourts on Torquay Road and Avenue Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the South West England norm at the moment. Diesel averages around 164p per litre across the stations we track in Paignton.

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. Prices in Paignton can move mid-week as well as at weekends, so the ordering above is worth a glance even if you always use the same forecourt.
