The UK is currently facing a cost-of-living crisis as fuel prices have reached record highs.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has sparked a price hike as the average cost of petrol rose to 165.89p and the cost of diesel rose to 176.76p last week. However, the recent drop in oil prices could see prices being cut sooner than initially predicted.

However, it is not known when motorists will see the impact of the drop in oil prices so petrol prices remain sky-high. It is important for drivers to keep an eye out for the best places to fill up your tank in your area to help with the soaring costs.
