Macclesfield

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 166p per litre right now. Right now roughly 5p per litre separates the cheapest unleaded from the dearest locally.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. 1 of the 7 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Shell around London Road has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Several of the busier sites sit along Chelford Road and Churchill Way, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

Unleaded around Macclesfield currently averages noticeably more than North West England as a whole, so a fill-up just outside town can pay off. Diesel averages around 188p per litre across the stations listed for Macclesfield.

Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. If you drive through Macclesfield regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
