Finding a decent price of petrol can be an annoying task for any driver, so those in Braintree may be curious to see where is best near to them.
It comes amid news that some supermarkets have been charging drivers 6p more per litre of fuel, costing motorists £900 million in a single year, a government watchdog has found.
In response to the findings, the government is preparing to force retailers to publicly state how much they are charging at the pump so that drivers can compare prices in real-time.
But until then, you can find out the petrol and diesel prices in Braintree by using the PetrolPrices app.
Here’s a list of some of the places you can get the cheapest petrol and diesel in the Braintree area.
