At category level, the lowest current averages come from supermarkets for Petrol (E10), Diesel (B7) and Super unleaded (E5) and major brands for Premium diesel (SDV). Among the named operators, the lowest current averages are Sainsbury's for Petrol (E10) at 170.9p/l and Diesel (B7) at 197.9p/l, Tesco for Super unleaded (E5) at 181.9p/l and JET for Premium diesel (SDV) at 213.4p/l. Supermarket prices are 0.4p/l above their 30-day averages on average and major-brand prices are 0.1p/l below their 30-day averages on average. There are no independent forecourts with comparable current prices in Durham, so that category cannot be judged fairly yet.
