News today reveals that petrol prices have jumped to their highest level in nine and a half years, with prices over 142.94p. Car Insurance Expert at Confused.com Alex Kindred says:

“More than two in five (41%) drivers feel that current fuel costs are unjustified. Our latest fuel price index shows the average price of petrol and diesel are on the up across the UK.

“Drivers need to be as savvy as ever to find the best fuel prices alongside other motoring expenses. Competing supermarkets often offer petrol discounts and larger petrol stations can usually offer their fuel at slightly lower prices, in order to try and entice drivers, although this could be at the expense of smaller independent providers.

“Fluctuation in prices, as well as varying costs between regions and suppliers, makes it confusing to know when and where we’re going to get the best deal. To help you find the cheapest fuel in your local area, you can use our petrol price finder to search for the best price. That way, you can avoid paying over the odds.”
