Telford

At the bottom of the local market, unleaded starts around 162p per litre right now. A few outlying forecourts price well above the typical local level, so the average is a better guide here than the extremes.

The supermarket sites, including Asda, tend to set the floor for prices here. 3 of the 17 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 Esso around New Trench Road. Forecourts on Ironbridge Road and St Georges Road carry much of the passing trade, and their prices often move first.

Unleaded around Telford currently averages noticeably more than West Midlands as a whole, so a fill-up just outside town can pay off. Diesel averages around 186p per litre across the stations listed for Telford.

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