UK drivers face wildly varying petrol prices, with some paying up to £8 more for a fill-up.

UK motorists face a "postcode lottery" with petrol prices varying up to £8 for filling up a family car, depending on location. Supermarkets like Asda, Morrisons, and Sainsbury's offer different prices across the country.
