Bristol's cheapest petrol stations - the best places to get fuel - Bristol Live

The petrol shortage crisis in Britain seems to have gone away for now, but it has been replaced by a problem with high prices.

Petrol prices in the UK are now at an all-time high, hitting an average of 142.94p a litre on October 25.

This beat the former record, set in April 2012, by 0.46p.

Diesel is still a little short of its previous record, reaching 146.5p a litre on Sunday, just below its all-time high of 147.93p, the Mirror has reported.

The RAC has attributed the rise to several factors, including the increase in the cost of oil, September’s switch to E10 petrol and the impact of VAT.

However, it does not believe the recent panic buying of fuel contributed to the price hike.

Whatever the cause, this rise in prices can be difficult for drivers on a tight budget who are having to fill up their tank regularly.

Luckily, there are a few places in Bristol which sell petrol for lower than the average price.
