Diesel at the garage is priced at 131.9p per litre, lower than the national average of of 154.31p, according to the RAC.Petrol at the garage is also being sold at 136.9p per litre, lower than the national average of 144.96p.Ricky Allman said the fuel market had "dropped significantly", allowing reductions to be passed onto customers"People have to travel to work, so things are hard enough as it is, I think everywhere else should bring the prices down," one driver added.
Ricky Allman, financial director at D A Roberts, said the fuel market had "dropped significantly" in recent months, enabling savings to be passed onto customers."So whatever our buy-in price is for that day, we add the margin that we require and then that's our pump price.""We just sell it as cheap as we can to ensure we still make a profit, but the customer's get a fair price as well," he added.
"The wholesale price of diesel is actually lower than petrol, yet we're still paying so much more at the pumps," he said.Follow BBC West Midlands on
