Lancaster

Unleaded currently varies by roughly 6p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank. The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here.

Supermarkets account for 1 of the 11 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. The low end of the market has recently been held by Morrisons around Central Drive/Hilmore Way.

Forecourts on Ovangle Road and Regents Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. On average the town runs a touch over the North West England norm for unleaded.

Diesel averages around 185p per litre across the stations listed for Lancaster. 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 Lancaster 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.
