Diesel cost an average of 198.1p a litre across the 26 forecourts in the Newcastle area that were reporting diesel prices to the government’s Fuel Finder scheme on 22 October 2026, 0.7p below the UK average of 198.8p.
The cheapest diesel open to all drivers in the Newcastle area was 194.7p at Asda Boldon Supercentre, NE35 9AR. The dearest was 202.9p at Shell Gosforth, NE3 2DT. For a business buying fuel, that 8.2p difference is worth £82 on every 1,000 litres, or £4.51 on a 55 litre tank.
Like for like, diesel prices at the 20 of those forecourts that reported on both 15 October and 22 October fell by an average of 0.2p a litre over the week. Among them, 5 raised their price, 6 cut it and the rest did not change.
Unleaded petrol (E10) averaged 172.0p across 27 forecourts, 1.4p below the UK average of 173.4p. It ranged from 165.7p at Asda Boldon Supercentre to 178.9p at Shell Gosforth.
Supermarket forecourts were the cheaper place to fill up with diesel: they averaged 196.2p across 10 sites, against 199.3p at the other 16.
For fleets, 18 of the 26 forecourts selling diesel told Fuel Finder they sell fuel 24 hours a day, and 3 have AdBlue at the pump. None of them listed HVO renewable diesel.
Across the North East, diesel averaged 198.4p and unleaded 171.9p on the same figures, and like for like diesel fell by an average of 0.2p over the week across 163 forecourts.
How the figures were worked out
The figures come from Fuel Finder, the government scheme under which every UK forecourt must report its prices within 30 minutes of a change, published as open data under the Open Government Licence. British Fuel Prices records the feed several times a day. Averages cover the forecourts on its Newcastle page that reported a price in the 14 days to 22 October 2026; older prices are left out. The Newcastle area is the 12 NE postcode districts on that page, so it reaches beyond the city council boundary. Weekly changes compare the same forecourts’ prices at both dates. Prices are pump prices in pence per litre, including duty and VAT.
