Petrol Prices in Newcastle
Today's cheapest petrol across Newcastle and Tyne and Wear, ranked pence per litre.
Petrol prices across Newcastle are not one number — they are hundreds of them. On any given day the gap between the cheapest and most expensive petrol pump in the NE postcode area regularly exceeds 10p per litre, which is £5 or more on a single 50-litre fill.
This page tracks petrol only. fuelfinder.ai lists every Newcastle forecourt that reports to the UK Government's CMA Pump Watch open-data scheme, ranks them by petrol pence-per-litre, and shows how recently each price was confirmed. Standard UK unleaded is E10 — up to 10% bioethanol. Most forecourts also sell E5 super unleaded at a premium of roughly 10–20p per litre.
If you want diesel prices as well, the Newcastle fuel prices hub covers both grades side by side. If you only ever put petrol in the tank, this is the faster page — search a NE postcode and the cheapest petrol near you is at the top of the list.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the cheapest petrol in Newcastle today?
It changes daily. Supermarket forecourts — Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Costco where present — usually lead on petrol in Newcastle, typically 5–10p below the branded majors. Search your postcode above for today's actual ranking rather than relying on a rule of thumb.
How much does petrol cost in Newcastle right now?
The live table on this page shows the current cheapest, median and most expensive petrol price reported across Newcastle. Figures come from the CMA Pump Watch feed and refresh twice daily, so they reflect what retailers have officially declared.
What grade of petrol do Newcastle stations sell?
Standard UK unleaded is E10 — up to 10% bioethanol. Most forecourts also sell E5 super unleaded at a premium of roughly 10–20p per litre.
Is premium petrol worth it in Newcastle?
Super unleaded (E5) is worth paying for only if your vehicle handbook specifically requires 97+ RON. For the vast majority of cars, standard E10 is the correct fuel.
Why is petrol cheaper in some parts of Newcastle?
Local competition is the biggest factor. Where two supermarkets sit within a mile of each other, both price aggressively. Sites with no nearby rival — city-centre forecourts, or stations on a single-approach road — have no pressure to match, and Newcastle pump prices reflect that.
How often is Newcastle petrol price data updated?
Retailers submit to the CMA scheme through the day and fuelfinder.ai refreshes twice daily. Each station row shows its own last-updated time, so you can see whether a price is hours or days old before you drive to it.
