Fuel Prices in West Midlands
Live petrol and diesel across Birmingham, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Stoke-on-Trent and the wider region.
Fuel prices across the West 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 West Midlands conurbation packs supermarket forecourts tightly together, so local price wars are common and the cheapest station in a given postcode can change week to week.
This hub covers the B, CV, WV, WS, DY and ST postcode areas. 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.
