Dudley

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 Asda usually anchor the bottom of the local range.

5 of the 70 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators. Blakenhall Service Station has been setting the cheapest unleaded price locally of late.

Forecourts on Wolverhampton Road and Wednesbury Oak Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first. The town's unleaded average sits slightly below the West Midlands norm at the moment.

For diesel, expect an average of roughly 164p per litre locally. Everything within about 8 km of the centre is included, so edge-of-town and retail park sites appear alongside the central forecourts.

If you drive through Dudley regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's. The table below carries the exact live figures per station, and alerts can flag a drop at the forecourts you actually use.
