Petrol prices near me: Cheapest fuel at Morrisons, Tesco, Asda and local stations suggest cost is starting to fall

Prices for petrol and diesel at UK forecourts have only dipped on three days since the start of February, the latest analysis from the AA has shown.

Petrol prices have soared by 13p since the start of the month and diesel by nearly 21p - the fastest rises on record. The AA says it means that between mid-February and mid-March the cost of filling a typical 55-litre car tank leapt from £81.73 to £90.97.

The seemingly never-ending surge in prices has led to calls from Welsh politicians for fuel duty to be cut in the Chancellor's Spring Statement next week.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak will announce his Spring Statement on Wednesday, and the government has said it has frozen fuel duty for 12 years in a row.

The high costs mean it's worth looking around for the best prices when looking to fill up your car – supermarket forecourts usually offer the cheapest fuel prices. This is because of the market power supermarkets hold – the big names like Asda, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Morrisons are all in competition with one another so they keep fuel prices as low as possible hoping that when motorists come to fill their tank they might do their weekly grocery shopping too.
