Runcorn

Unleaded currently varies by roughly 14p per litre between the cheapest and dearest forecourts, which is enough to notice on a full tank. The supermarket sites, including Asda and Morrisons, tend to set the floor for prices here.

4 of the 18 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators. The low end of the market has recently been held by Asda around Widnes Road.

Forecourts on West Lane and Widnes Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. Local unleaded prices average slightly above the wider North West England figure.

For diesel, expect an average of roughly 165p per litre locally. 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 Runcorn 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.
