Pontypridd

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 148p per litre right now. Right now roughly 12p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

The supermarket sites, including Asda and Sainsburys, tend to set the floor for prices here. 6 of the 17 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 Tesco around Green Park. Forecourts on Rhondda Road and Pontygwindy Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider South Wales figure. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 170p 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. The cheapest station in Pontypridd is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
