At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 150p per litre right now. The gap between the cheapest and most expensive unleaded in town is around 12p per litre at the moment.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 3 of the 34 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

EG around Saddle Inn has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on East Way and Sheephill Lane 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 173p 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 Penwortham is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
