Eccles

The cheapest unleaded in town currently starts near 144p per litre. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 6 of the 63 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Costco around Barton Dock Road. Forecourts on Princess Road and Manchester Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the North West England norm at the moment. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 172p per litre locally.

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. The cheapest station in Eccles is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
