Costco, Applegreen, Sainsbury's and Asda cheapest for petrol in Merseyside today

Figures showed that the average price of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts hit a record 182.3p on Wednesday.

This meant that the average price of filling a 55-litre car went over £100 for the first time ever. It led the AA to declare “enough is enough” while the RAC said it was “a truly dark day” for drivers.

AA president Edmund King demanded a 10p per litre cut in fuel duty and called for a fuel price stabiliser to lower duty when pump prices rise, and increase it when prices drop.

He said: “Enough is enough. The Government must act urgently to reduce the record fuel prices which are crippling the lives of those on lower incomes, rural areas and businesses. A fuel price stabiliser is a fair means for the Treasury to help regulate the pump price, but alongside this they need to bring in more fuel price transparency to stop the daily rip-offs at the pumps.

“The £100 tank is not sustainable with the general cost-of-living crisis, so the underlying issues need to be addressed urgently.”
