Here are the cheapest petrol stations within five miles of Southend seafront.
According to Petrolprices.com these are the top filling stations for cheap fuel. Just last month drivers were flocking to forecourts to fill up their tanks, but queues have now returned to normal.
The crisis came after a shortage of HGV drivers was reportedly affecting supply to some fuel stations across the UK.
Stock levels are now finally returning to normal, but the cost of petrol has soared with prices nearly reaching the highest level ever recorded in the UK.
The RAC, however, does not believe that the recent panic-buying crisis contributed to the rise in prices, instead attributing it to an increase in the cost of oil, a switch to E10 petrol, and the impact of VAT.
But how have the price increases affected the cost of petrol where you live? We checked the latest prices of petrol and diesel as recorded on petrol station comparison website PetrolPrices.com.
