Unleaded and diesel prices are taken from petrolprices.com – and are correct to within the last three days.
The hunt for Gedling borough’s cheapest petrol and diesel prices continues as the cost of fuel seems to be dropping slightly.
Chancellor Rishi Sunak announced a temporary cut in fuel duty recently of 5p per litre as motorists struggle with record fuel prices.
Figures from the RAC shows the latest average cost of a litre of petrol at UK forecourts as of right now is 164.59p, while diesel is 178.13p. It also anticipated that prices will continue to fall.
The RAC warned drivers they will only notice a difference once retailers have bought new fuel at the lower rate. The measure is expected to reduce the cost of filling a typical 55-litre family petrol car by around £3.
Prices have started to fall slightly across the borough…

Why is there up to 19p difference between petrol and diesel prices? It used to be 3p or 4p? I suppose the chancellor didn’t take 5p off diesel. Why not?
Because diesel is considered to be dirtier and is supposed to be able to do more miles
