Below an expert comments on the new figures released today which reveal that fuel prices have hit a record high, with petrol prices surpassing 148p and diesel prices surpassing 151.5p.
Car Insurance Expert at Confused.com Alex Kindred says:
“More than two in five (41%) drivers feel that current fuel costs are unjustified. 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.”
