## About fuel in Birmingham

Birmingham's forecourts cluster along the A38, A45 and the ring of retail parks around the city, which keeps supermarket competition unusually strong. Prices inside the A4540 middle ring road are typically a little higher than the large out-of-town sites.

**Local tip.** The supermarket forecourts around Selly Oak, Castle Vale and the A45 Coventry Road corridor are usually among the cheapest in the city; independent sites near the city centre are often the dearest.
