Experts at vehicle store Law Trucks have compiled petrol prices from across the country to find the best place for you to bag a bargain.

The Petrol Prices App has gathered the data, which has since been ranked from most expensive to least expensive.

One major city has been found to be the cheapest in the whole of the UK.

With a population of 500,000, this region’s residents are filling up their motors for a lot less.

In the top spot comes Liverpool, offering one litre at an average of 123.9p.

This port city in northwest England was found to be cheaper than anywhere else in the UK.

So if you fancy a trip to The Beatles Story Museum, it might not cost you too much to get there.

Liverpool offers a litre of fuel for a whole 1p per litre cheaper than the runner-ups.

Birmingham and Ipswich take joint second and third place, offering 124.9p per litre.

While it might not seem like a lot, one penny per can certainly tot up depending on how big your tank is.

Making it to fourth place is Belfast, offering 125.9p per litre.

The Irish capital is a hugely popular tourist spot and now holidaymakers can relax even further knowing they’re not wasting pennies on fuel.

Fifth on the list is a city based in the northern county of YorkshireLeeds.

You can grab a litre of petrol in Leeds for 126.9p, which is cheaper than many areas of the UK but a whole 3p more expensive than Liverpool.

For some context, the average price for a litre of fuel stands at 135.72p according to RAC Fuel Watch.

This means all the cities in the top five are around a whopping 10p more affordable than the standard rate.

It might feel as though fuel costs have risen recently but they come after a drop from last year, so things may not be as bad as they seem.

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said the price of petrol has come down a startling 14p from April last year, making the latter half of 2024 notably cheaper.

He explained: “Even though fuel prices have crept up slightly over the last three months, 2024 was a better year at the pumps, with prices coming down by 14p for petrol and 16p for diesel from the high points seen at the end of April.

“Looking back, it’s quite clear that 2024 was a year of two halves for fuel, with the second proving far better as the lower cost of oil translated to cheaper prices on the forecourt.”
