Edinburgh's cheapest petrol stations for May as Tesco enters top five

While many people across the UK struggle to keep up with rising costs, one thing that has stayed expensive for months has been petrol and diesel.

With the cost of more or less everything rising at the moment, people will be trying to keep costs down by searching for the cheapest fuel possible - or trying not to drive at all.

But if driving is a necessity, Edinburgh Live have utilised the Petrol Prices website to find out the cheapest unleaded petrol and diesel prices within five miles of the capital.
