Of the towns we track, Bolton currently has the lowest average unleaded price at 168.6p a litre. Town rankings move as retailers reprice, so this page is rebuilt with each deployment. ### How do you work out a town's average price? We take every forecourt publishing a price within a set radius of the town centre — usually five to ten miles — and take the mean. Towns with fewer than four reporting forecourts are shown without an average, because a handful of sites is not a meaningful figure. ### Do you cover Northern Ireland? Not currently. The UK government's open fuel price scheme, which is where retailers publish the prices we aggregate, covers Great Britain only. ### My town is not listed — can I still check prices? Yes. The [live map](https://cheapestfuel.uk/map/) covers every forecourt in Great Britain that publishes a price, not just the towns with their own page here. The [iOS app](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/cheapestfuel/id6744545252?ppid=b2b7bcca-e7b3-42dc-9486-8361e82514e9) also finds the cheapest stations around your current location. Live map: https://cheapestfuel.uk/map/ Prices are indicative. Always check the price displayed at the pump.
