Bilston

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 146p 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.

Supermarket forecourts from Tesco and Morrisons usually anchor the bottom of the local range. Supermarkets account for 9 of the 72 stations here, with branded and independent sites making up the remainder.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Blakenhall Service Station. Forecourts on Wednesbury Oak Road and Brickhouse Lane carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider West Midlands figure. For diesel, expect an average of roughly 171p 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. If you drive through Bilston regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
