Today the average price of fuel is 191.24p according to the RAC meaning this petrol station was 22.34p cheaper.

Motorists rushed to the petrol station in Ely to take advantage of this budget fuel yesterday. However, it is unclear if the price has remained low today.

We have asked Tesco for a comment but have yet to receive a response. We will update once we do.

Fuel prices began to rise due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, which caused oil prices to rise.

Most of Europe relies on Russia’s oil and gas reserves for its own supply however leaders pledged to cut off their own supply of oil to Russia and use other sources, causing oil prices to skyrocket due to higher demand.

How can I save money on fuel?

For many driving our vehicles is unavoidable, especially if we have to commute to work.

Talk to your employer about your travel concerns, they may be able to help arrange transport or the opportunity for you to work a certain amount of hours at home.

If possible try and take public transport or walk whenever possible. Public transport can offer season tickets, which may be cheaper than filling up with petrol each week.

You can use the app PetrolPrices to help you find the nearest, cheapest fuel station.

Create an account, select the ‘find the cheapest or nearest stations on the map’ option. It will use your location to show you all the local fuel stations and display their prices.

Check your social media pages frequently in case there are any updates from friends online.

If you can, avoid premium unleaded fuel as it’s more expensive than regular unleaded.

Another tip is to stick to the speed limit, the faster you drive the more fuel your car will consume.

Fill up at petrol stations run by supermarkets often run loyalty schemes, which means you may earn small benefits that add up over time.

Alternatively, you could consider switching to an electric car which wouldn’t use any fuel at all.
