Drivers waited in half hour queues for fuel at Costco on Thursday evening (July 7) as the price of both petrol and diesel continues to soar. A huge line of cars trailed from the forecourts at the Trafford site, winding along Central Avenue to the roundabout near the Asda supermarket.
It comes as the wholesalers was named as one of the cheapest places to go for fuel in Manchester, as prices continue to skyrocket across the country. June saw a new record monthly rise in petrol prices in the UK, according to RAC analysis.
At around 7pm on Thursday, dozens of drivers were forced to wait in line for as long as 30 minutes in a bid to fill up. As of the time of writing, unleaded costs 179.9p per litre, premium unleaded is 190.9p per litre and premium diesel is 191.7 at the Costco site beside Trafford Park.
