Ellesmere Port

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 151p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

Supermarket forecourts from Morrisons and Costco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 17 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Costco around Dunkirk Trading Estate. Several of the busier sites sit along Parkgate Road and New Chester Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

On average the town runs a touch over the North West England norm for unleaded. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 183p 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. Prices in Ellesmere Port 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.
