Motorists across the UK could soon save up to £4.50 per tank of petrol under a new proposed 'Pumpwatch' scheme by the Government.
The scheme will allow drivers to compare up-to-date petrol prices, via a website or mobile application - allowing them to find the cheapest option in their area.
It comes after Brits have been found to have forked out an extra 6p per litre at the supermarket pumps last year, with weak competition allowing sellers to charge more. When racked up, it means that drivers have been charged between £2.70 and £3.90 too much per tank of diesel or petrol, every time they filled up at the forecourt over the last few years.
