Aldridge

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 148p per litre right now. The very top of the local range is set by a small number of expensive outliers, and most stations sit much closer together than the headline gap suggests.

The supermarket sites, including Tesco, tend to set the floor for prices here. Supermarkets account for 3 of the 32 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Tesco around Tesco Stores Ltd. Forecourts on Chester Road and Bettys Lane carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Average unleaded here tracks the wider West Midlands figure closely. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 172p per litre locally.

The comparison covers stations up to roughly 8 km out, which keeps out-of-town supermarkets and bypass sites in the same view as the town centre. Prices in Aldridge can move mid-week as well as at weekends, so the ordering above is worth a glance even if you always use the same forecourt.
