Counted from OpenStreetMap on 19 August 2026 inside a box 15 km either side of the city centre — not the administrative city, which on a large one reaches well past that. These are counts of what drivers have mapped, not a survey of the city: a station that sells diesel but carries no diesel tag is not in the diesel number. If something is missing, open the map and it can be fixed.

Birmingham sits at the heart of the UK motorway network, with BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco and supermarket forecourts from Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury's and Morrisons spread across the city and the M6, M5 and M42 corridors. Supermarket sites are usually the cheapest for petrol and diesel. EV charging has grown quickly, with rapid hubs around the city core and motorway services.

Local tips

  • Supermarket forecourts (Asda, Tesco, Morrisons) usually undercut branded motorway stations by several pence per litre.
  • Avoid filling at M6 motorway services if you can; prices there are consistently the highest in the area.
  • Check the Clean Air Zone rules before driving an older diesel into the city centre.

Only 37 of the 250 stations mapped in Birmingham say whether they sell diesel. The rest probably do; nobody has recorded it. See Birmingham on the map →

Why Refuelia

The only honest map of fuel & EV — worldwide

Where there’s really fuel and a really working charger, right now. Prices come from drivers — someone types in what they actually paid, so it is real, timestamped, and missing until somebody posts it. We never invent a number. Fuel and EV together, worldwide, free.

What a pin can say

Fuel available
a driver confirmed it, and the card says when
Limited fuel
some grades out, or a queue at the pump
No fuel
somebody stood there and told us
Open by its timetable
the posted hours say open. Nobody has checked
No fresh report
and the map says so, rather than guessing

Every other map draws the first one and stops. The last two are the point: when nobody has checked, this map says nobody has checked, instead of guessing green.
