Drivers have reacted with horror as fuel prices soar to more than £2 a litre at a North East service station.
The image of the sign outside Washington Services, on the A1, advertising unleaded for 202.9p and diesel for 204.9p per litre caused shock when it was shared on Twitter and in a number of national newspapers.
The eye-watering price is close to double what drivers were paying two years ago, when the AA found the average price of petrol in the North East was 106.4p per litre.
