The five cheapest places to fill up a car this weekend have been revealed as data from an online comparison site shows which pumps are most cost-effective.

According to PetrolPrices, the cheapest place within 10 miles of Darlington to put petrol in a car this weekend (February 22 and 23) will set you back 131.9p.

New data from RAC Fuel Watch shows that, even though petrol went up by a penny to 136.5p over the course of November, prices remain stable.

This means drivers are saving nearly £6 (£5.75) a tank - and, compared to two years ago, the savings are even greater as petrol then averaged 159.9p (23.4p or £12.90 less) and diesel 183.9p (41.7p or £22.90 less).

This weekend, the cheapest petrol station for unleaded fuel within 10 miles of Darlington is Oakley Service Station which is selling petrol for 131.9p per litre.

Petrol costs in the region remain fairly stable as we head towards March, although the national average price is creeping up slowly possibly as a consequence of global instability.

According to Confused.com the average price of petrol in the UK is currently 140.2p, meaning the cheapest in the region is 8.3p less expensive than the average fuel price.
