Due to the on-going Middle-East crisis that's dominating national and international headlines, it can be easy to worry about how it may affect residents living in the Black Country. 

For drivers struggling with the cost-of-living crisis in the UK, one such worry may be the price of petrol. 

While, it is important not to panic-buy petrol, it is still worth keeping an eye on the cheapest petrol prices near you.

Edmund King, the AA’s president, said: “Pump prices in the coming weeks will inevitably increase, possibly in the short-term back up to where they were at the start of year. Petrol in February had been at a low of 131.9p a litre. It had started this year at 135.7p a litre. 

“The silver lining is that the country is coming out of winter and the fuel efficiency of cars improves significantly with warmer weather: engines are no longer straining with cold starts or toiling to power heaters, lights and wipers. 

"Typically, car owners see an improvement of three miles per gallon as they get more range out of a tank of fuel. As a rule of thumb, each 1 mpg change is equivalent to 1p on or off a litre of fuel."
