PETROL is an expensive most of us don't like shelling out for.
But prices remain relatively low despite the traffic and roads across Colchester getting busier.
Although they're not below the fabled £1 level at the minute, you don't have to pay more than 115p if you're prepared to travel a little further out of your way to fill up.
So how are prices in Colchester and the surrounding areas at the moment?
Here are the ten cheapest places to fill up the car before you head off on a trip out with the family this week:
