Horwich

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 Tesco and Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range.

5 of the 25 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 Morrisons around Black Horse Street.

Forecourts on Moss Bank Way and Middlebrook Retail Park carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. Unleaded prices around Horwich sit broadly in line with the rest of North West England.

Diesel averages around 172p per litre across the stations listed for Horwich. 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 Horwich 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. The table below carries the exact live figures per station, and alerts can flag a drop at the forecourts you actually use.
