Fuel Prices in Midlands
Live petrol and diesel across Birmingham, Nottingham, Leicester, Coventry, Derby and the wider region.
Fuel prices across the Midlands are not uniform, and treating the region as a single number hides the thing that actually saves you money — the 10p per litre gap that can exist between two forecourts within the same postcode area.
The Midlands sits close to the UK average on most days, with the West Midlands conurbation offering dense supermarket coverage and the surrounding counties thinning out quickly once you leave the ring roads.

Pick your nearest city below for a ranked list of every local forecourt, or search any postcode in the region to see live petrol and diesel prices in pence per litre, sourced from the UK Government's CMA Pump Watch open-data scheme and stamped with the time each price was last confirmed.
