Here’s a guide to the cheapest places to fill up your tank in Greater Manchester(Image: Getty Images)<\/p>\n

Since the US and Israeli war on Iran<\/a> began more than two weeks ago, shockwaves and ripple effects from events unfolding thousands of miles away in the Middle East are being felt here in the UK.<\/p>\n

Fuel prices have shot up over the recent weeks due to a rise in the cost of oil, the costs of a new mortgage have risen, and the conflict has the potential to drive up the cost of energy bills, goods in shops, flight prices, and motor insurance premiums<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On average, UK drivers are currently paying 141.1p per litre of petrol, while people who own diesel vehicles are forking out 160.5p on average. In Greater Manchester, petrol car owners are currently being charged 0.6p less than the national average of 141.1p. And diesel car drivers in Greater Manchester are paying 0.1p less than the national average.<\/p>\n

The prices quoted are for standard grade petrol (E10) and for standard grade diesel (B7). The figures are supplied by the major retailers under a voluntary scheme launched by the Competition and Markets Authority to ensure motorists are given a fair deal at the petrol pumps.<\/p>\n

Most of the major petrol retailers have signed up to the scheme and the petrol stations supplying up-to-date information account for around 60 per cent of the fuel sold in the UK. The price of fuel is often cheaper at Costco outlets, but their service is only available to members.<\/p>\n
