Petrol station in Harrogate district has joint most expensive fuel in country
Wetherby Services on the A1 has the joint highest petrol price in England — costing an eye-watering 202.9p per litre to fill up.
Prices at the pump have risen yet again this week due to increases in the cost of crude oil, which is used to make petrol and diesel.
The website PetrolPrices publishes up-to-date fuel prices at sites across the country.
It shows the BP station at Wetherby Services has passed the £2 per litre threshold and is now the joint highest petrol price in the country.
It's the same price as other BP motorway petrol stations in Cumbria, Sunderland and Wiltshire.
It was announced today that it now costs over £100 to fill up a 55-litre family car, which the motoring body RAC called a "truly dark day" for motorists.
