With average petrol prices expected to reach 160p a litre this week, many UK motorists are looking beyond branded forecourts in search of cheaper fuel. Supermarket petrol stations, including Costco, Tesco, and Asda, have long been among the most competitive options, although prices can vary depending on where drivers live.
According to the RAC, average petrol prices have already climbed to 157.81p per litre, while diesel has reached 175.71p. Higher wholesale fuel costs driven by rising oil prices are now filtering through to UK forecourts, meaning motorists could soon face even higher costs every time they fill up.
