As of August 7, 2026, fuel prices in the UK remain a concern for motorists. In the local areas of Rossendale, Ribble Valley, and Pendle, prices can vary significantly between stations. According to data from petrolprices.com, the average price for unleaded petrol in the UK is currently around 142.5p per litre, while diesel averages 147.8p per litre.
In Rossendale, the cheapest fuel can often be found at supermarket stations such as Asda and Morrisons, which typically offer lower prices than independent garages. For example, Asda Rawtenstall has recently been listed with unleaded at 139.7p per litre, while diesel is at 145.7p. In Ribble Valley, the Morrisons in Clitheroe has been competitive, with unleaded at 140.7p and diesel at 146.7p.
Pendle also has several budget-friendly options. The Asda in Nelson has been reported with unleaded at 139.7p and diesel at 145.7p, matching the lowest prices in the region. However, prices can change frequently, and it is advisable to check live comparison sites like petrolprices.com or apps such as Confused.com's fuel finder before filling up.
Local independent stations sometimes offer lower prices, but they are less consistent. For instance, the Applegreen on the A56 in Haslingden has occasionally undercut supermarkets, but prices vary. Motorists are encouraged to compare prices across the three boroughs to save money, as the difference can amount to several pounds per tank.
