Fuel Delivery in M5 - What You Need to Know

01

The full length: J1 West Bromwich to J31 Exeter

The M5 starts at J1 near West Bromwich, threads past Worcester and Gloucester, skirts Bristol, crosses Somerset and finishes at J31 outside Exeter, where the A30 and A38 take over for Cornwall and Plymouth. That is around 160 miles in a single unbroken run, and plenty of drivers attempt the whole thing in one sitting. The junction spacing is generous in the south, which is where the fuel maths gets tight.

02

Summer weekends and the South West flow

On summer Saturdays this becomes the holiday road for the entire South West, and the queues it produces are famous. Crawling for two hours in July heat with the air conditioning running consumes far more than the same miles at a steady speed, and the trip computer estimate stops being reliable. Drivers who set off with a comfortable margin have been caught out by exactly that. Plan the stop for before the queue, not after it.

03

The Avonmouth crossing and the exposed stretch near J18

Between the Avonmouth junctions the motorway lifts onto a long high level crossing over the river, making it among the most wind affected stretches anywhere on the route. High sided vehicles get speed restrictions in a gale and there is nowhere pleasant to stop on the structure itself. If you feel the engine falter on the approach, take the next exit rather than trying to make the far side.

04

J15 Almondsbury and the M4

J15 is where the M4 crosses, easily among the busiest interchange points anywhere in the west of England. Traffic changes direction here in volume, and drivers who have come down from Birmingham often commit to the Bristol or the Wales leg without stopping first. The junction is layered, so if you stop nearby the most useful detail is which road you were on and which way you were heading.

05

The Somerset stretch: J22 to J25

South of Bridgwater the road opens out across the Somerset levels, with long views, few landmarks and mainline stops spaced further apart than they are further north. It is easy driving, which is precisely the problem: attention drifts and so does the fuel gauge. Cars run dry along here more often than the mileage suggests, because the last opportunity was further behind than the driver remembered.

06

Devon: J27 to J31

Beyond Tiverton the motorway begins its final run towards Exeter, and traffic thins out as the trunk roads take over. Drivers heading for Cornwall often decide to fill up on the A30 instead and misjudge the remaining distance, particularly at the end of a long day. Callouts on this section are frequently families most of the way through a holiday drive, so enough gets delivered to finish the journey properly.

07

The Midlands end: J1 to J4A

The northern few miles are urban motorway, close to the Black Country, with tight junction spacing and heavy local traffic. Vehicles that stop here are usually within a couple of miles of a filling station, which sounds encouraging until you remember that walking to one along a motorway is not an option. Cover on this section is dense and the approach is short, so the wait tends to be at the shorter end.

08

Where the shoulder stops

Not every mile of this motorway has a continuous nearside strip. Some sections run under variable speed control with refuge areas at intervals instead, and the signs change more often than drivers notice. Work out what you have before you need it. If there is no shoulder and the car will not roll to a refuge, keep everyone belted in, hazards on, and telephone 999 so the lane can be shut.

09

Caravans, roof boxes and the range you did not plan for

Towing a caravan or running with a loaded roof box changes consumption substantially, and holiday traffic on this road is full of both. A car that returns comfortable figures on the commute can lose a quarter of its range fully loaded into a headwind, which is how a planned single stop turns into an unplanned roadside wait. If you are towing, treat the range readout as optimistic and stop earlier than feels necessary.
