Petrol Prices
We all know petrol prices are going up. Star Radio's been speaking to Louise Doherty from petrolprices.com who says we're now paying well over £1 a litre in Bristol. And she says if oil producing countries don't pump more oil, we could be paying as much as £1.50 a litre by this autumn.There's not much a single motorist can do to change world oil prices. But... it is possible to make sure you get the best price at the pumps in Bristol. Louise's website has a breakdown of where to get the cheapest fuel.
