Motoring editor at Confused.com Amanda Stretton, said: “Paying for fuel is part and parcel of owning a car, and it is unfortunate for drivers that it is only getting more expensive – the most expensive recorded by Confused.com’s fuel price index in more than 18 months! Although perhaps this is could be a motivation for drivers to consider alternative fuel types, which will also have a positive impact on the environment.
“But for those who are feeling ripped off by the inflated costs of petrol and diesel should keep an eye on the cost of fuel in their local area and find the cheapest place to fill up using Confused.com’s petrol prices tool. Any money saved is a driver win!”
