Greater Manchester cheapest petrol and diesel prices as UK average cost of unleaded drops to 1.50p

The average price of petrol has fallen below 150p per litre for the first time in almost a year.

Figures from data company Experian show the average price of a litre of the fuel at UK forecourts on Monday was 149.7p. The reduction of nearly 42p from the record high of 191.5p in July last year, is “a huge relief for drivers”, according to the AA.

The last time the average price of petrol was below 150p per litre was on February 24, last year, the day Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Diesel’s average price on Monday (January 9) was 172.2p per litre, down nearly 27p compared with the record 199.1p last July.

A 12-month cut in fuel duty of 5p per litre – worth a saving of 6p when VAT is taken into account – was introduced on March 23, 2022. To help you find the best deal near you, the Manchester Evening News has compiled a list of the cheapest petrol pumps in each borough of Greater Manchester.

The data is sourced from PetrolPrices.com, which covers major service stations including brands like BP, Shell, and Texaco as well as supermarkets, smaller chains and independent stations. The website combines price data from Catalist with its own crowdsource data, which comes from website users and forecourt owners.

The site says it hopes to have "the most up to date and reliable price data across the industry".
