As the Chancellor cuts petrol duty by 1p a litre in the Budget, check out the Channel 4 News map of where in the UK you can buy the cheapest – and the most expensive – petrol.
The graphic, left, shows the most expensive areas for petrol in the UK – and the cheapest.
For petrol at the bargain price of 126.9p for a litre of unleaded, you will have to head to Bishop Auckland, County Durham. And if you are pinching the pennies, it may be best not to journey to the Western Isles in Scotland, where fuel is 146.9p, a 20p difference.
