Experts are calling on drivers to seek out the cheapest fuel prices in their area to save money, as petrol and diesel prices begin to rise again.
The latest data from the AA shows that drivers are currently paying an average of 166.2p per litre for petrol and 187.8p per litre for diesel.
As tensions in the Middle East continue to have an impact on global oil prices, drivers in the UK are facing higher petrol and diesel costs at the pumps.
Various experts have called for drivers to use price comparison sites to find more affordable places to get fuel, without travelling out of their way.
Fresh research from the AA reveals around 380 forecourts outside of Northern Ireland which charge at least 6p below the UK average for petrol, potentially helping drivers save £3.30 a tank.
Northern Ireland consistently has the cheapest costs in the UK thanks to the Consumer Council Fuel Price Checker, which shows average prices for petrol and diesel in towns and cities across the country.
At present, drivers in Bangor and Dungannon are paying 151.9p per litre for petrol, while diesel costs just 168.9p in Dungannon, making it the cheapest area in the country.
The AA has listed the 50 places across England, Scotland and Wales where drivers can get petrol for less than 160p per litre.
