The weekly change compares the same 14 filling stations with an unleaded price on both days, so a station dropping out of the figures does not move it.
26 of the 66 stations seen during the week changed at least one price.
The cheapest unleaded in Manchester on Sunday 11 October 2026 was 163.9p at Costco Wholesale Manchester, Manchester (M41 7PP), members only; the most expensive was 179.9p at Airport City Sf Connect, Manchester (WA15 0AF), a gap of 16.0p, or £8.00 on a 50-litre tank.
The cheapest diesel was 188.9p at Atherton Superstore - Petrol Filling Station, Manchester (M46 0AG).
Across the UK, unleaded was down 0.4p over the same week, at 174.1p, which puts Manchester 0.7p below the national average.
"Drivers in Manchester paid 0.2p more for a litre of unleaded this week. On a 50-litre tank, that is £0.10 more than a week earlier. The gap between the cheapest and the dearest forecourt in Manchester is 16.0p, so where you fill up still matters more than when." said Jacky A., editor of fuelpricetoday.co.uk.

How the figures are computed
Each average is the mean of the prices changed in the last 7 days at the filling stations of Manchester, motorway services left out and prices more than 25p from the day's median discarded. The cheapest and most expensive stations are judged against the stations within 10 km, so that a typing error cannot top the list. The week runs from Monday to Sunday. Details on how this site works.
