Sale

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 136p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 5 of the 60 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

Texaco around Sandgate Service Station has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late. Forecourts on Princess Road and Marsland Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider North West England figure closely. Diesel averages around 162p per litre across the stations we track in Sale.

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 Sale regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
