21 cheapest petrol and diesel prices in Blackpool and Fylde coast as fuel costs stop rising

Prices have halted after more than 40 days of increases, with drivers now hoping for a drop at the pumps.

Drivers in Blackpool are being urged to shop around for fuel as prices level off following weeks of increases.

The latest data from the RAC shows petrol and diesel prices rose every day for more than 40 consecutive days, with diesel setting a new record for daily rises.

However, prices have now stopped climbing, offering some relief to motorists.

Average petrol prices are around 158p per litre, while diesel is at about 192p.

The cost of filling a typical family car has increased by around £14 for petrol and £27 for diesel since late February.

RAC head of policy Simon Williams said the rate of increases has slowed after oil prices fell below $100, which could lead to prices dropping in the coming weeks.

Drivers are still being encouraged to compare prices locally, as costs can vary between forecourts across Blackpool and the Fylde coast.
