Failsworth

The cheapest unleaded in town currently starts near 142p 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 8 of the 69 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

Costco around The Broadway has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Ashton New Road and Princess Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the North West England norm at the moment. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 170p per litre locally.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. The cheapest station in Failsworth is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
