    Cheap fuel near the M6?

    I'm going for a bit of a drive tomorrow and will need to stop off to fill up on the way. Any tips on petrol stations near the M6 that are reasonably priced?
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Best fuel prices are near Bridgewater, just off M4...

        Just outside Preston there's cheap fuel.

        M6 is a long road - might need to be more specific about where you are intending to be travelling and where you might need to stop.

          I'll be coming on to the M6 at the M42 and leaving it when it becomes the M74. I've got about enough fuel to get me to about Lancaster.
          Options are that I fill up near home, in which case I should make it to Scotland on a tank, or I fill up along the way.

            Yes, the services there get rave reviews on DoggingUK, although they say it's off the M5, not the M4.

              Either your irony button just went off the scale or your UK geography is tulip.


              Edit: Look for supermarkets close to M6 junctions. Warrington area has loads from memory. Avoid the m/way services, obviously, but then you knew that.
              Check https://www.petrolprices.com/
              You need to sign up (it's free) to see the prices.

                I've run out of Demerara, so it will be... none.

                    Sainsbury's, Bamber Bridge is about 111p for unleaded at the moment.
