Fuel prices hit a new record high last week as the cost of oil soars due, in part, to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Prices have continued to rise during the last seven days, with the cheapest unleaded aross our patch now costing a whopping eight pence a litre more than last week.

The average pump price of petrol in the UK has now breached the 160p per litre barrier, according to the latest figures.

Although some garages across the mid-Cheshire patch have crept above that eye-watering barrier, there are still some below it.

We've taken a look at the latest prices from around the patch, with the supermarkets in and around Northwich once again offering the best deals.

Here are the top five for both unleaded and diesel drivers, including what the prices were last week (in brackets):

UNLEADED

Tesco Northwich - 151.9p (143.9p)

For those living in Winsford, the cheapest option is Morrisons at 156.9p per litre.
