Yorkshire identified as cheapest place for petrol

Average price for a litre of unleaded is 110.9 pence, compared to

Northern Ireland which has the nation's most expensive at 114.9 pence, said the motorists' organisation.

They say the average price has remained around 112 pence, despite a drop of two pence in wholesale costs.

Diesel prices have also stagnated at around 113.84p a litre, according to the latest AA fuel price report, though again Yorkshire has the cheapest and Northern Ireland the most expensive.

AA president Edmund King said: "We know from our research that 1.10 a litre is when driver tolerance of higher fuel prices begins to evaporate, and 1.12 may have been sufficient for many car owners to reconsider who they buy their fuel from."
