Chester

Right now roughly 14p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally. Supermarket forecourts from Morrisons and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range.

Supermarkets account for 7 of the 24 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. Costco around Dunkirk Trading Estate has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late.

Several of the busier sites sit along Park Road and Aston Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route. The local average sits several pence over the wider North West England figure, which makes shopping around matter more than usual here.

For diesel, expect an average of roughly 179p per litre locally. Everything within about 10 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts.

Prices in Chester can move mid-week as well as at weekends, so the ordering above is worth a glance even if you always use the same forecourt. Use the live table for the exact prices at each site, or set an alert if you would rather be told when your usual stations drop.
