Cheapest fuel prices in the Black Country revealed as motorists queue to take advantage of national drop

As the cost of living crisis continues to bite, it is likely to be music to everyone's ears that the price of fuel is on the decline.

And taking the crown for the lowest rates once again is Total Energies Blakenhall Service Station, which charges customers 139.6p per litre of petrol.

The Dudley Road petrol station was also found to be the cheapest last year and has even previously attracted queues by those looking to refuel and not break the bank.

These are the other retailers offering the best prices for fuel in the region according to Go.Compare on Saturday morning.

The drop in prices comes following a report made by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) on November 8, which accused retailers of not reflecting a decline in wholesale costs.

Just 14 days after the report was published, petrol prises decreased by 3.75p.

AA pump price spokesman Luke Bosdet said: "It’s amazing what happens when the competition watchdog gives the fuel trade a good prod – pump prices fall at twice the speed and £2 comes off the cost of a tank of petrol within a fortnight."

However, RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams, commented that the drop in prices was "no cause for celebration".

He said: "Drivers are still losing out massively at the pumps because retailers refuse to cut their prices to reflect far lower wholesale costs.

"Average retailer margin on petrol is currently around 17p a litre – 10p more than the long-term margin."
