The eight cheapest petrol stations in and around Co Derry

Petrol prices are continuing to rise in Co Derry, with the average price of a litre reaching a new record of 154.9p this week.

Prices now seem to be at an all-time high and continue to increase dramatically.

And prices could hike further, as oil costs also continue to soar due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

Meanwhile, Richard Williams, Head of Transport Policy at the Consumer Council told Belfast Live how customers can take steps to save money.

"The advice we would give is to shop around as there are some savings to be made even though they're not huge.

"One thing we are suggesting is to reduce your journeys if you're able to, but obviously a lot of people can't. We're encouraging people to use public transport if possible. The Infrastructure Minister has frozen fares on public transport.

"The evidence we have going back over a number of years is it's cheaper to commute by bus than it is by car if you factor in all the running costs of the car.

Tips on saving fuel from the Consumer Council:

  • Keep your tyres inflated - reduce the drag
  • Declutter your car - Less weight means less fuel
  • Don’t fill your car up – fuel is heavy
  • Brake and accelerate less – they burn fuel
  • Avoid stopping and starting where possible – roll up slowly
