Stretford

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 136p 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 Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 5 of the 68 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Texaco around Sandgate Service Station. Several of the busier sites sit along Princess Road and Marsland Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the North West England norm at the moment. Diesel averages around 162p per litre across the stations we track in Stretford.

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. The cheapest station in Stretford is not fixed; the low spot moves between forecourts through the week, so the current ordering matters more than habit.
