The fuel crisis has been all over the news and with no end in sight, Admiral Car Insurance has pinpointed the dearest and cheapest places to refuel your car – with the Isle of Wight amongst the top 3 cheapest places in the country for petrol.
Researchers have calculated how much the average motorist is set to spend on petrol over the next 12 months, based on the local cost of fuel vs local median salaries. Based on motorists travelling the UK average of 7,490 miles per year, they multiplied the local cost of refuelling with petrol (as of 19th April 2022) and compared it to the local median salary in each of England’s counties.
The Isle of Wight has been ranked as the 3rd cheapest county to refuel in England with an average price of 158.1 per litre for petrol. That’s an average annual mileage cost of £1,086.
Sadly, diesel isn’t as cheap with Tesco Ryde, for example, selling at 175.9p/litre today.
Northumberland is the most expensive county to refuel in right now with an average price of 174.7p per litre – ranking before London and Greater Manchester.
