Fuel prices hit a record high in the summer but have started to fall since then – so where is the cheapest place to fill up in Suffolk?

Analysis of government figures by the RAC Foundation has found the average price of a litre of diesel is nearly 17p more expensive than petrol.

Figures from the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy show average pump prices for a litre of fuel on Monday were 180.3p for diesel and 163.8p for petrol.

This means filling a typical 55-litre family diesel car is around £9 more expensive than for petrol models.
