Sutton Coldfield

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 140p 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 Asda and Costco usually anchor the bottom of the local range. 3 of the 32 local forecourts are supermarket-run, and the rest split between branded and independent operators.

The low end of the market has recently been held by Costco. Several of the busier sites sit along Walmley Ash Road and Coleshill Road, so you can check them against each other without leaving your usual route.

On average, unleaded here runs a little under the wider West Midlands figure. Diesel averages around 165p per litre across the stations we track in Sutton Coldfield.

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 Sutton Coldfield regularly, note that the price ordering below changes often enough that last month's cheapest stop may not be this week's.
