Costco, Applegreen, Asda, Esso and Tesco cheapest for fuel in Merseyside today

Fuel prices continue to rise as Britain remains in the midst of a cost of living crisis.

Figures from data firm Experian show the average price of a litre of diesel at UK forecourts reached a new high of 197.1p on Tuesday, while the average price of petrol was a record 189.3p per litre, which the AA branded “a disgrace”. Twelve months ago the prices were 133.5p for diesel and 131.1p for petrol.

The Competition and Markets Authority announced last week that it will carry out a “short and focused review” of fuel prices after a request by Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng. Additionally, car use increased on Tuesday, due to industrial action resulting in the cancellation of 80% of train services.

RAC fuel spokesman Simon Williams said wholesale costs mean pump prices are “on course” to move closer to the milestone. Mr Williams said the price of diesel is “perilously close to the £2-a-litre milestone”, with the cost of a full tank for a 55-litre family car exceeding £108.

However, as fuel prices continue to rise, the ECHO has rounded up the cheapest places to buy petrol and diesel within five miles of Liverpool city centre, according to PetrolPrices.com.
