FUEL prices have sunk to their lowest level in up to the three-and-a-half years, new figures show.
Filling up a 55-litre family car is around £9 cheaper today than in late January.
This has been driven by a near 50 per cent reduction in oil prices since the beginning of the year as Covid-19 has taken hold across Europe and two of the world's top three oil producers fell out.
Saudi Arabia – which produced around 10 per cent of global supplies – slashed prices and ramped up production after Russia refused to go along with planned cuts.
This resulted in an 18-year-low for the price of a barrel of Brent crude oil.
And all of this means fuel prices are the lowest they have been for a long time.
So, here are the top three cheapest places to fill up in your area – for both unleaded petrol and diesel.
But, remember: Essential trips only.
These prices were correct as of April 9 and were collated using a petrol comparison website, PetrolPrices.com
