Manchester

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 148p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 20 of the 207 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. Forecourts on Brackley Street and Pilsworth Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider North West England figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 179p per litre locally.

Everything within about 15 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts. Prices in Manchester 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.
