The weekly change compares the same 162 filling stations with an unleaded price on both days, so a station dropping out of the figures does not move it.
299 of the 586 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.
The cheapest unleaded in Northern Ireland on Sunday 18 October 2026 was 157.9p at Maxol Bryansburn, Bangor (BT20 3RQ); the most expensive was 186.9p at Diamond Service Station, Magherafelt (BT45 7AE), a gap of 29.0p, or £14.50 on a 50-litre tank.
The cheapest diesel was 181.9p at Yorkgate Centre Superstore - Petrol Filling Station, Belfast (BT15 1WA).
Across the UK, unleaded was down 0.8p over the same week, at 172.7p, which puts Northern Ireland 6.7p below the national average.
Among the towns of Northern Ireland, unleaded fell most in Bangor (down 1.9p to 166.1p), Coleraine (down 1.8p to 164.9p), Londonderry (down 1.2p to 165.7p) and rose most in Ballymena (up 1.1p to 166.9p), Enniskillen (up 0.8p to 169.1p), Dungannon (up 0.1p to 165.3p).
"Drivers in Northern Ireland paid 0.6p less for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £0.30 less than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Northern Ireland is 29.0p, so where you fill up still matters more than when." said Jacky A., editor of fuelpricetoday.co.uk.

How the figures are computed
Each average is the mean of the prices changed in the last 7 days at the filling stations of Northern Ireland, motorway services left out and prices more than 25p from the day's median discarded. The cheapest and most expensive stations are judged against the stations within 10 km, so that a typing error cannot top the list. The week runs from Monday to Sunday. Details on how this site works.
