Cheap petrol near me: Martin Lewis shares 'very handy' tip to find fuel for less

With the cost of living crisis continuing to worsen, households across Scotland and the UK have been forced to cut back on costs wherever possible.

While the UK Government has announced a £15 billion package of support, including a £400 discount on energy bills for every household, people are looking for ways to save money.

Fuel prices across the country remain high, and so many drivers are seeking out the cheapest petrol stations possible.

These can be difficult to find, but fortunately MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis has shared a website and app that can show you the lowest fuel prices near you.

PetrolPrices.com uses data from stations and drivers to maintain an up-to-date database of petrol and diesel costs around the UK.

This allows users to compare the price of fuel at stations near them and save a bit of money when they need to top up their vehicle.

Taking to Twitter, Lewis posted a link to the website and wrote: "Find the nearest cheapest petrol station near you".

Fans of the financial guru were quick to share their thoughts, with one writing: "I've been using this app for years, very helpful."

"Been using this app for a long time, it’s very handy," a second echoed.

A third tweeted: "Can't explain how useful this is. Yesterday I nearly stopped for petrol @ £1.97 per litre. Drove a little further and got £1.81."
