Prestwich

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 6 of the 66 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder. The low end of the market has recently been held by Asda around Harpurhey Shopping Centre.

Several of the busier sites sit along Brackley Street and Pilsworth Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route. On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider North West England figure.

Diesel averages around 172p per litre across the stations listed for Prestwich. 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.

If you drive through Prestwich regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's. 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.
