Ashton-in-Makerfield

Unleaded currently varies by roughly 12p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank. The supermarket sites, including Asda and Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here.

Supermarkets account for 8 of the 25 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. The low end of the market has recently been held by Asda around Atherleigh Way.

Several of the busier sites sit along Kirkland Street and East Lancashire Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route. The local unleaded average sits well below the North West England number, so filling up locally usually beats waiting for somewhere else in the region.

Diesel averages around 170p per litre across the stations listed for Ashton-in-Makerfield. 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.
